© 2015 The Author. Many putative Batesian mimics only approximately resemble their supposed models, and such "imperfect" mimics are readily distinguished from defended species by humans and other vertebrates. One explanation for the existence of impe... Read More about Do crab spiders perceive Batesian mimicry in hoverflies?.
