1865 British bee wasp mimic moths Bates
An antique collection of British moths mimicing stinging bees/wasps - with a British hornet top right for comparison. Species include Sesia apiformis,Sesia bembeciformis,Synanthedon culiciformis,Broad-bordered Bee Hawkmoth Hemaris fuciformis,narrow bordered bee hawkmoth Hemaris tityus and true British hornet wasp Vespa crabro. The victorian naturalist Henry Walter Bates worked out that mimicry can evolve by non-toxic or non-stinging insects evolving to look like toxic or stinging insects to gain the protection of the negative search image of their predators. He worked primarily on tropical South American species,but the phenomenon is also found closer to home. Darwin was delighted with a process that appeared compatible to his theory of natural selection. Bees and wasps often look similar by a process known as Mullerian mimicry,generalising the negative search image for predators
