aposematic (ap-uh-suh-MAT-ik)

adjective
Serving as a warning or alarm.

Etymology
From Greek apo- (away, off) + sematic (serving as a sign of danger), from sema (sign). The term is especially used in case of insects, referring to features such as bright colors or markings to warn a predator that they may be poisonous.

Usage
"Winslow departed port in utter disregard of an aposematic forecast, and then stayed overlong in worsening seas before turning back." — Excerpt from opinion of the court (Selya, J.) in DiMillo v. Sheepscot Pilots, Inc. 1989.
