Camouflage involves blending in with the environment to avoid detection by predators or prey. Mimicry is when an organism imitates another organism's appearance, behavior, or sound to deceive predators or prey. Mimicry can involve mimicking a harmful species (Batesian mimicry) or mimicking a harmful species in an area where the mimicker is dominant (Müllerian mimicry).
