Figure 1 Picture imperfect. At first glance the mimicry of the toxic Battus philenor, on the left, by the harmless Papilio polyxenes, on the right, is impressive. On closer inspection, differences are obvious; it is an imperfect mimic. (B. philenor © Kathy Garvey; P. polyxenes © Frank Model; reproduced with permission.)
