Müllerian mimicry

Müllerian mimicry

a form of mimicry in which two or more species, each of which is toxic or potentially harmful, have similar body shape or coloration. For predators, a single experience with a member of one of these species can lead to learned avoidance of all similar-looking animals, conferring protection on all the mimetic species. [Johann Friedrich Theodor Müller (1822–1897), German zoologist]
