What do you call the adaptation of viceroy?

The adaptation of the viceroy butterfly is often referred to as mimicry, specifically Batesian mimicry. This occurs when the harmless viceroy mimics the appearance of the toxic monarch butterfly to avoid predation. By resembling a distasteful species, the viceroy gains protection from predators that have learned to associate bright coloration with a bad taste. This adaptation enhances its survival in the wild.
