A Monarch looking rather waspish

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| The Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is a well-known North American butterfly. It is also found in New Zealand, and Australia where it is known as the Wanderer Butterfly. In Europe it is a resident of the Canary Islands (except Lanzarote) and Madeira, and is found as a migrant in Mexico, Azores, Portugal and Spain. Its wings feature an easily recognizable orange and black pattern, with a wingspan of 8.5–12.5 cm (3.34 in–4.92in). (The Viceroy Butterfly has a similar size, color, and pattern, but can be distinguished by an extra black stripe across the hindwing.) Female monarchs have darker veins on their wings, and the males have a spot in the center of each hindwing from which pheromones are released. |
