30. 다음 글의 밑줄 친 부분 중, 문맥상 낱말의 쓰임이 적절하지 않은 것은?

 It is a general belief that insects in the tropics are larger and more colorful than insects in temperate regions, though it’s also true that there’s more of everything in the tropics, including small, dull-brown insects. To our eyes, brightly colored insects are beautiful, but to predators such as birds, bright colors are a ① warning sign that indicates the insect is likely to contain nasty chemical compounds. Some perfectly innocuous insects mimic the colors of toxic species, thereby ② running off potential predators through subterfuge. At the same time, numerous nasty insects all resemble one another, making themselves easier for predators to ③ remember — and avoid — them. With these two kinds of mimicry at play, there are a lot of distinct species that resemble one another,  which makes it ④ difficult to correctly identify, say, a tropical butterfly. It remains to be seen whether mimicry is more common in the tropics — perhaps due to greater predation ⑤ pressure — or whether the percentage of mimetic species is the same as in temperate regions.
