Mimicry
Hi, thanks for your work on this. A few things:

1) the article already has a section on Pseudocopulation so we will need to merge your additions to avoid duplication.

2) I note that flowers also engage in Batesian mimicry (probably), I've added a bit from Ant mimicry.

3) These points mean that "Floral mimicry" isn't really a separate thing, just that plants engage in mimicry like anything else.

4) When we want to repeat a citation, we don't copy it out in full, but (for example) give it a name and just use that. So can be reused very simply as .... "as Doe stated.  "

5) And by the way, the article formats its citations as in (4), using the "cite journal" (or "cite book", etc) templates. We need to do the same for your additions.

I'll have a go at sorting this out. If you have time, any help would be appreciated. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:18, 11 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Well, I've completed a first pass, and have moved most of the material to the separate (main) article on Pseudocopulation. That leaves a bit still in Mimicry where it more or less fits, probably needs a bit of adjustment. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:57, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
