In Batesian mimicry, an overtly vulnernable creature takes on the guise of a noxious, toxic, or otherwise dangerous one. For instance, my aunt Augusta (P. innocens) can, with the swift addition of a pair of sunglasses and the slightest tilt of her head, flawlessly imitate a Karen, and if threatened, may even ask to speak with a manager.
Such an affectation may seem unnecessary--even sinister--but my aunt assures me it has saved from from any number of insipid, tedious baby showers; sermons; and the whole art of human conversation.

Okay, it's time to end the suspense and announce the winner. I so enjoyed all of the entries. I have decided the pick of the litter (I find this choice of words apt, considering the subject matter) to be that of Mad's: "Just checkin' for some make-up hints. Blind dates can be so nerve-wracking." Congratulations, Mad!

Heck !! Wasn't expecting that 🤡
Thank you very much 🙂
(However, as many as 5 trophies doesn't sound likely. Could that actually be right ??)
But I will endeavour to carry on and try to win some more.
So watch out .... here I come .... hahaha !! 😝
