Why are there imperfect Batesian mimics?

Batesian mimicry is when an innocuous species avoids predation by mimicking a defended, harmful species (known as the model). It is expected that natural selection should be towards ever more accurate mimics, but, puzzlingly, mimicry is often imprecise. One hypothesis that could explain some inac...
