A mimic is any species that has evolved to appear similar to another successful species in order to dupe predators into avoiding the mimic, or dupe prey into approaching the mimic.
Batesian mimics (named after Henry Walter Bates), where the mimic resembles the successful species but does not share the attribute that discourages predation.
Bakerian mimics (named after Herbert G. Baker), where the mimic resembles members of its own species in order to lure pollinators or reap other benefits, although the mimicry may not be readily apparent due to the fact that the members of the same species may still exhibit sexual dimorphism.

 Logical Paradoxes [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
He reasons as follows: Suppose that a certain attitude, say belief, is treated as a property of 'proposition-like' objects - let us call them 'representations' - which are built up from atomic constituents in much the way that sentences are.
Then, with enough arithmetic at our disposal, we can associate a Gödel number with each such object and we can mimic the relevant structural properties of and relations between such objects by explicitly defined arithmetical predicates of their Gödel numbers.
This Gödelisation of representations can then be exploited to derive a contradiction in ways familiar from the work of Gödel, Tarski and Montague.
