Often, all is not as it seems at the best of times, Randy, especially
with the Viceroy mimicry system. See, for example, David Ritland's
paper (http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF00328409) on the
unpalatability of the mimetic Viceroy in comparison to its purported
model, the Queen, in Florida.
