Some species have evolved conspicuous coloration that acts as a warning signal to predators. This defense mechanism is known as aposematism (Poulton, 1890). Because predators avoid attacking aposematic organisms, other palatable or harmless species are sometimes observed to mimic aposematic noxious organisms. This tactic is called Batesian mimicry (Bates, 1862). Additionally, some warning signals of different aposematic noxious species converge (Müller, 1879), which is classified as Müllerian mimicry. Müllerian mimics benefit from sharing the same (or similar) warning signal because they share the "cost" of educating predators to avoid the signal (Huheey, 1961; Wickler, 1968). These are only two mimicry categories among many others that have been proposed according to the noxiousness of both models and mimics (Balogh, Gamberale
