The IMPOSTER!!!

This butterfly looks like a monarch but it is not. It is called a Viceroy butterfly. It is smaller and it has different markings than a monarch.

Very cool to see the viceroy and great to be able to I D them

[Esther Rosenberg]

So pretty.
I have to start looking better at those when I see them again. Thanks for the information.

[Rosie Kind]

Still a fantastic butterfly and a great photo

[Milanie]

Wonderful detail - I always have to wait until I put it on the computer to tell which is which.

[Mallory]

What a beautiful capture! Again! :)

[Denise Wood]

Terrific :)

[Maggiemae]

Great to learn about but you would need to see both together to be able to identify which one is smaller etc.

[Melvina McCaw]

Yes but still BEAUTIFUL!

[Valerina]

Great shot. They do look a lot alike at first glance.

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Easily mistaken for sure. Quite beautiful

[Margo]

Still very beautiful

[Dione Giorgio]

That is why it is a viceroy which I think would mean representing the king. Beautiful shot and he looks as majestic as a king.

[Wylie]

Still lovely and what about those prickles! Must have tough feet or careful tread.
