Description
Thanks for viewing !! :o)
--
Reverse mimicry in which an unpleasant wasp is coloured and
shaped like a harmless snail in order to confuse a predator.
A predator that has tried to eat the disguised wasp will avoid
snails in the future. The model thus benefits from the fact
that predators have learned to avoid the mimic.
Hmmm now that wouldnt work, would it ? LOL ;o)
Hope you like :o)
