The monarch butterfly is toxic to birds. Over time, viceroy butterflies have adapted a wing color and pattern that is very similar to the appearance of monarch butterflies. What is the most likely advantage of the adaptation?

The birds are less likely to hunt the birds since they think that the Viceroy butterfly is the monarch which is toxic.
