Bit of a mystery Monarch, wonder what damaged it like that..

View attachment 13005Very nice but I believe that is a Viceroy and not a Monarch. That black line across the rear wing is the easy way to see the difference. They are just a bit smaller than a Monarch and they don't seem to glide as much in flight as a Monarch does.

Thank you very much for the correction - I'll fix the header.

I don't know but it looks like it hurt! But I'm wrong; it's a Viceroy butterfly.
