One of the best documented examples of aggressive non-social arthropod mimicry is that of bolas spiders that use the female sex pheromones of their lepidopteran hosts, mostly noctuids, to attract moth males. In their study on the moth Tetanolita mynesalis, i.e., the...

This is clearly a case of aggressive mimicry. In a sense, it is closely related to Batesian mimicry in that deception is involved, and that deception acts to the... 

Robberflies (Asilidae) are often called bee-killers from their heavy predation on honeybees. Apis mellifera. Because of a resemblance between the two, some have suggested that aggressive mimicry is involved, allowing the robber fly to approach its victim more closely. However, A. mellifera is an exotic species. Linsley (1960) studied native bees and wasps as possible models in the American south-west. He concluded that the mimicry seems to be of the Batesian type since the models seemed to be out of the preferred size range and may appear but rarely in the mimic s prey. L. Brower et al. (1960) came to essentially the same conclusions with regard to their work with bumblebees (Bombus americanorum) and robberflies (Mallophora bomboides) in Florida. 

Most descriptions of aggressive mimicry are somewhat anecdotal since the...
