Many predators may have gotten sick from eating one of the poisonous species and will avoid all similar looking animals in the future. Batesian mimicry is when a non-poisonous species has markings similar to a poisonous species and gains protection from this similarity. Since many predators have become sick from eating a poisonous animal, they will avoid any similar looking animals in the future. An example is the Viceroy which mimics the poisonous Monarch. When an animal molts it loses its old skin or exoskeleton and grows a larger one to replace it.
Caterpillars molt many times during their development.
