Other butterflies have evolved false eyes and antennae on their rear wings, to confuse potential predators as to which way they will flee.
Caterpillars of some moths and butterflies look like bird droppings.
Examples: bees and wasps, many highly colored tropical butterflies.
In general, species will only evolve bright colors if they have strong defense mechanisms, and use those colors as a warning.
Examples: Serphid flies which look like bees; Viceroy butterflies which look like Monarch butterflies (although recent research suggests these two butterflies may actually be Mullerian mimics)
A. Symbiotic mutualisms occur when the species always live together and require each other to survive.
Examples:
Corals and Zooxanthellae. Coral polyps (the individual animals which make up coral reefs) are carnivorous animals related to jellyfish. These animals allow certain species of algae to live in their bodies. The corals provide the algae with nutrients, while the algae provide the corals with extra food.
Plants and Mycorrhizae. Mycorrhizae are soil fungi which live in or on the roots of plants (including trees, shrubs, grasses). The mycorrhizae provide the plants with phosphorus, while the plants provide the mycorrhizae with extra food.
Plants and Nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria require energy and an oxygen-poor environment to function. Some plants (for instance, alders trees, bean plants) make root nodules (which exclude oxygen) for these bacteria to live in and provide the bacteria with food. The bacteria provide the plant with ammonia.
B. Non-symbiotic mutualisms occur when the two species are not always living together, and can live on their own (though not as well as they would together). Examples:
Seed dispersal: again, animal is provided with food, while the plant seeds get moved around.
This can be easily seen with berries and fruits which have indigestible seeds (blackberries, raspberries) which are eaten and then deposited elsewhere by the animal.
Another example are many wildflower seeds which have oil bodies on their
surface. Ants will collect these seeds, bring them back to their nests
where the oil bodies are eaten, and the seed 'thrown out' on the ant hill,
when it germinates.
