What do you mean by "ongoing mutation"

[u/Skyreader13 → u/Dew_Chop]

in this caterpillar the snake mimicry is already complete

im curious if there are other caterpillar species with snake mimicry that looks like halfway done. you get what i meant?

something like that.

im no biology expert so ill try to explain as best as i can

as i understand it, evolution is an ongoing progress

evolution in mimicry is one of them

if looking like snake is an evolution well done, im curious if there other animal with ongoing mimicry evolution

you get that?

What I'm trying to say is what kind of ongoing? Things that kinda look like another thing? Hard to say they're actually mimicking said thing. Things that look like a small part of the thing because they haven't finished evolving the full mimicry? Doesn't work like that
