Difference between Mimicry and Octopus

Mimicry vs. Octopus

In evolutionary biology, mimicry is a similarity of one organism, usually an animal, to another that has evolved because the resemblance is selectively favoured by the behaviour of a shared signal receiver that can respond to both. The octopus (or ~) is a soft-bodied, eight-armed mollusc of the order Octopoda.

Host (biology)

In biology and medicine, a host is an organism that harbours a parasitic, a mutualistic, or a commensalist guest (symbiont), the guest typically being provided with nourishment and shelter.
