Which hunting advantage results from Batesian mimicry, where a non-toxic leaf-mimic katydid resembles a toxic species?

💡 Explanation

Batesian mimicry allows a harmless species to resemble a dangerous one; visual predator avoidance increases because predators avoid the mimic as they would the toxic model. Therefore, predation on katydids decreases, rather than predation increasing or any muscular change occurring.
