A harmless butterfly copying the pattern of a toxic species.

Explanation: Mimicry is when one organism evolves to resemble another to gain an advantage (often avoiding predators). The butterfly example is Batesian mimicry. Growing toward sunlight is phototropism; singing to attract a mate is courtship/sexual signaling.
