Viceroy Butterfly
Presquile Prov. Park, ON.
Viceroy butterflies look like Monarchs.
The coloring and pattern of monarch and viceroy wings look nearly identical. However, a viceroy has a black line crossing the postmedian hindwing.
Viceroys do not migrate like Monarchs to Mexico. They overwinter as 1st or 2nd instar larvae, rolled up in a leaf of their host plant (willow or poplar).
