What is a leopard mimicry?

Leopard mimicry refers to a form of mimicry in which certain species, particularly insects or other animals, evolve to resemble leopards or their distinctive patterns. This adaptation can serve as a defense mechanism, helping them avoid predators by either blending into their environment or by evoking a sense of fear associated with leopards. The mimicry can involve coloration, patterns, or even behaviors that resemble the big cat. Such adaptations highlight the intricate relationships between predators and prey in the natural world.
