Detailed explanation-1: -Müllerian mimicry is a phenomenon in which two or more species with effective defenses share a similar appearance or signaling, and by this sharing reduce the cost of associative learning, and even promote the evolution of refraining from attack by their enemies.
Detailed explanation-2: -Müllerian mimicry is a type of biological similarity in which two or more unrelated noxious or dangerous species have alarm systems that are strikingly similar, such as the same vivid color pattern.
Detailed explanation-3: -Müllerian mimicry is a natural phenomenon in which two or more well-defended species, often foul-tasting and sharing common predators, have come to mimic each other’s honest warning signals, to their mutual benefit.
Detailed explanation-4: -These studies indicated that the monarch and viceroy butterflies, long considered as examples of batesian mimicry, are actually expressing Mullerian mimicry. Mullerian mimicry is when two species share similar anti-predator characteristics (in this case, inedibility) and co-mimic each other.
