视觉模仿是自然选择的教科书案例，因为它既直观易懂，又在一系列生物中反复进化：它是平行进化的终极例子。在许多拟态类群中，特别是蝴蝶，甚至在密切相关的物种中，也出现了各种各样的颜色模式。最近有很多关于这种多样性的解释的争论。拟态是当今进化研究的一个广泛领域，在这里，我们将讨论其多样性在捕食系统中的进化。
Visual mimicry is a textbook case of natural selection because it is both intuitively understandable and has repeatedly evolved in a range of organisms: it is the ultimate example of parallel evolution. In many mimetic groups, particularly butterflies, a huge variety of colour patterns has arisen, even in closely related species. There has been much recent controversy over explanations of this variety. Mimicry is today a broad field of evolutionary study; here we discuss the evolution of its diversity in predator-prey systems.
