An image of an orange, tan, and black butterfly, a Viceroy Butterfly. They resemble a Monarch butterfly with a few differences.

I captured too many shots of this Viceroy butterfly, but here's a first looks.

Text: Aposematism, Monarch Butterfly. Top image is a Monarch Butterfly with both wings open. Below text: Camouflage, Viceroy Butterfly. A side view of a Viceroy Butterfly.
#Aposematism is when the #MonarchButterfly uses a bright orange pattern as a defense mechanism to announce how dangerous it would be for a predator to eat it. The #ViceroyButterfly, is bright orange because it is trying to #camouflage itself as if it were a Monarch Butterfly for protection.

Found a mimic! This is a viceroy and not a monarch. Monarch numbers are way down, sadly. 🦋

The Viceroy can be distinguished from the Monarch by the presence of a black line on its wing (which the Monarch does not have). Viceroy, Uihlein Farm, Essex County, NY (11 July 2025). wildadirondacks.org/adirondack-b...

In the silence of nature we find the true rhythm of our souls.

#viceroybutterfly I found in a walk today. It was dead and sad but still pretty cool. #insect #butterfly #deadanimal #vultureculture
This week's field find is a Viceroy caterpillar, spotted by one of our volunteers during tree survival assessments. Did you know that even in the caterpillar stage, viceroys are already masters of mimicry? That funky colouration is thought to mimic a bird dropping!

Viceroy butterflies are beautiful as the flutter about Fox Haven. The caterpillars and cocoons hide in plain sight by actually looking like bird droppings! When they finally emerge as butterflies they are stunning! #butterfly #viceroybutterfly
