BC: Danaus plexippus (Lepidoptera : Nymphalidae). The Monarch butterfly is also sometimes called the Milkweed butterfly because its caterpillar feeds in Milkweed plants (Asclepias sp.). The caterpillar displays the yellow-orange-black pattern with some white as well, but is considered to fit into the defensive color pattern of milkweed insects. Some people call the insects that live on Milkweed and that are red, orange and black as part of the "Monarch Mimicry Complex".
