critterologist said: I also had to look up how to tell a female from a male Monarch, because I always mix them up. Female has heavier black lines, male has a small black dot on the hindwing, dorsal side only.
Queen butterflies are another Monarch mimic.
to you for all you're learning and doing! I love those black dota. They're functional too! They're scent glands!
