In this mid-season mini-episode of Wildly Curious (formerly For the Love of Nature), co-hosts Katy Reiss and Laura Fawks Lapole explore the incredible world of mimicry in animals. From the orchid mantis that fools pollinators by looking like a flower, to the death’s head hawk moth that sneaks into beehives by mimicking a bee’s scent, they uncover some of the most mind-blowing mimicry strategies in the animal kingdom. They also break down the different types of mimicry, such as Batesian, Müllerian, and aggressive mimicry, in an episode full of fascinating facts and humor.
Perfect for nature lovers, science enthusiasts, and anyone curious about how animals use disguise and deception to survive. Tune in to discover how these creatures thrive by blending in, standing out, or imitating their enemies.
