Detailed explanation-1: -Batesian mimicry, for example, is when a harmless organism looks like a dangerous one, deterring potential predators or competitors. Aggressive mimicry takes a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” approach, where an animal looks like prey or a harmless species in order to lure an unsuspecting victim in.

Detailed explanation-2: -Batesian mimicry is when a species mimics the warning signals of another species without having the characteristics that make it undesirable to their shared predator.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are three forms of mimicry utilized by both predator and prey: Batesian mimicry, Muellerian mimicry, and self-mimicry. Mimicry refers to the similarities between animal species; camouflage refers to an animal species resembling an inanimate object.

Detailed explanation-4: -In evolutionary biology, mimicry is an evolved resemblance between an organism and another object, often an organism of another species. Mimicry may evolve between different species, or between individuals of the same species.
