This is a bumblebee and I found it at a nearby park. The bumblebee relates to the term, mullerian mimicry because the bumblebee is capable of using powerful stings as a defensive mechanism. A mullerian mimicry is a form of protective mimicry in which two or more poisonous or unpalatable species closely resemble each other and are therefore avoided equally by all their natural predators.
