[QUOTE="agent A, post: 344200, member: 2948"] in the Lepidoptera, the regulation of a small set of genes have a dramatic impact on the coloration there must be a selective advantage to having ant mimicry at i1 and then to lose it so early. perhaps they grow large enough to need their aggressive mimicry at i2 and getting big enough food as an ant mimic would be difficult. remember, both sexes start out the same size and males just have fewer molts the other thing to keep in mind is not everything evolves out of need. perhaps the regulation shut off in an early ancestor and it wasn't detrimental enough to stop that population from reproducing and to Rebecca, sorry to say but evolution is the most evidentiarily supported theory in science. literally it has more support than gravity, cell theory, and the germ theory of disease [/QUOTE]
