Do crab spiders perceive Batesian mimicry in hoverflies?

Many putative Batesian mimics only approximately resemble their supposed models, and such “imperfect” mimics are readily distinguished from defended species by humans and other vertebrates. One explanation for the existence of imperfect mimics is that the most important predators of many mimics have...
