A well-known mimic, the viceroy (top) resembles the noxious  monarch (bottom). Once thought to be a Batesian mimic, the viceroy is more unpalatable than the monarch, making this a case of Müllerian mimicry.[9]

Batesian mimicry is a form of mimicry where a harmless species has evolved to imitate the warning signals of a harmful species directed at a predator of them both. It is named after the English naturalist Henry Walter Bates, after his work on butterflies in the rainforests of Brazil.
