The close external resemblance of an animal or plant to another animal, plant, or inanimate object.

"the action or art of imitating someone or something, typically in order to entertain or ridicule."

An example of this is the cuckoo bee, which lays its eggs in the nest of bumblebees, which they closely resemble and prey upon.
