what is the example of a species which portrays this mimicry?
Tropical butterflies are one
Müllerian mimicry
Müllerian mimicry was first identified in tropical butterflies that shared colourful wing patterns, but it is found in many groups of insects such as bumblebees, and other animals including poison frogs and coral snakes. The mimicry need not be visual; for example, many snakes share auditory warning signals. Similarly, the defences involved are not limited to tox
where do wasps fit in the food chain UNANSWERABLE how are these creatures classified as per the scientific classification in the animal kingdom? It is an insect of the narrow-waisted suborder Apocrita of the order Hymenoptera which is neither a bee nor an ant; have there been any petrified remains of this creature recovered, which proves its existence millions of years ago? Hymenoptera in the form of Symphyta (Xyelidae) first appeared in the fossil record in the Lower Triassic. Apocrita, wasps in the broad sense, appeared in the Jurassic, and had diversified into many of the extant superfamilies by the Cretaceous; they appear to have evolved from the Symphyta. Fig wasps with modern anatomical features first appeared in the Lower Cretaceous of the Crato Formation in Brazil, some 65 million years before the first fig trees. are these creatures further grouped depending on their social characteristics? Yes into social and solitary wasps ? what are the social characteristics of the first group mentioned above? Of the dozens of extant wasp families, only the family Vespidae contains social species, primarily in the subfamilies Vespinae and Polistinae. With their powerful stings and conspicuous warning coloration, often in black and yellow, social wasps are frequent models for Batesian mimicry by non-stinging insects, and are themselves involved in mutually beneficial Mülleri mimicry what is meant by the 'first' mentioned mimicry? It is a form of mimicry where a harmless species has evolved to imitate the warning signals of a harmful species directed at a predator of them both what is an example of it which portrays this mimicry? An example of this is the fly "Spilomyia longicornis", which mimics vespid wasps what is meant by the 'second' mentioned mimicry? It is anatural phenomenon in which two or more well-defended species, often foul-tasting and that share common predators, have come to mimic each other's honest warning signals, to their mutual benefit.

Müllerian mimicry [SEP] Introduction
The mimicry need not be visual; for example, many snakes share auditory warning signals. Similarly, the defences involved are not limited to toxicity; anything that tends to deter predators, such as foul taste, sharp spines, or defensive behaviour can make a species unprofitable enough to predators to allow Müllerian mimicry to develop. Once a pair of Müllerian mimics has formed, other mimics may join them by advergent evolution (one species changing to conform to the appearance of the pair, rather than mutual convergence), forming mimicry rings. Large rings are found for example in velvet ants. Since the frequency of mimics is positively correlated with survivability, rarer mimics are likely to adapt to resemble commoner models, favouring both advergence and larger Müllerian mimicry rings.
