In evolutionary biology, mimicry[1] is the similarity of one species to another which protects one or both.[2] This similarity can be in appearance, behaviour, sound, scent and even location, with the mimics found in similar places to their models.[3]

Mimicry occurs when a group of organisms,[4] the mimics, evolve to share common perceived characteristics with another group, the models.[5] The evolution is driven by the selective action of a signal-receiver, or dupe.[6] For example, birds that use sight to identify palatable insects (the mimics), whilst avoiding the noxious models.
