The non-poisonous ones that are least flashy and best at hiding are the ones who survive to reproduce. Their offspring will continue to pass down those traits.

But if more of them are surviving because they have visual warnings against being eaten than are surviving because they are good at hiding, those visual warning genes will dominate in the population.
