A team 3D printed a range of imaginary insects designed to mimic wasps with varying degrees of accuracy, revealing that predator perception influences the need for mimic accuracy.

Inbal Ravreby, the study's first author, noted that "People mimicked each other no matter what facial expression we tested, no matter if they agreed or disagreed, or if they were Republicans or Democrats." This highlights the intriguing universality of mimicry across political divides.
