difference between aggressive mimicry and protective mimicry
A Mimicry Adaptation
Mimicry is the action of mimicking someone or something. One of her few strengths was her skill at mimicry.

I had to laugh out loud when a co-worker told me that imitation is the highest form of mimicry. Less than normal-sized cuttlefish get their chance to mate without being eaten by their larger competition through the use of some very clever mimicry. The mimicry of the mockingbird is well known.
Mimicry is the similarity of one species to another that can protect one or both of them from predators. Some examples of mimicry are bugs that camouflage themselves to look like leaves or bugs that look like sticks.
A form of mimicry in which predator closely resembles another organism on which mimic preys.
Mimicry
Mimicry describes an animal who is behaving like another type of animal to throw off its predators. Camouflage describes an animal's ability to make itself look like something else to blend in with its surroundings.
Some harmless flies resemble bees and wasps. This mechanism is called mimicry and is used as a defense or to protect the flies from predators.

well the difference beetween camaflage and mimicry is that they both try to be something they are not and they sneek up on people and preditors
Batesian mimicry is when a harmless species or a species that is prey to predators (some textbooks might use the word 'palatable', which means savoury or tasty) copies a harmful species or a species that is not prey to other predators (unpalatable, which means unsavoury, not tasty). On the other hand, a Mullerian mimicry is when TWO (or more) harmful or unpalatable species mimic each other. These animals usually mimic each other's appearances but mimicry can also extend to behaviour. For example, say we have two frogs. One is poisonous and uses aposematic (warning) coloration by being bright blue. One is harmless and bright blue. This is a case of Batesian mimicry. But if both frogs are poisonous and bright blue, this is Mullerian mimicry.
No a caterpillar is a mimicry

Poisonous butterflies live on poisonous plants and collect the compounds from their host when the are a caterpillar (larva). Poisonous butterflies are often imitated (mimicry) by non-poisonous species, so the difference is sometimes very hard to see.
A parrot is a bird that is known for its mimicry.
