The African Queen - _TNY_0568

Nope, this isn't the steamboat from the 1951 film (or 1935 novel) carrying Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn. But this species is too called the African queen (Danaus chrysippus). Since it is related to the monarch and of similar colour, it is sometimes called the African monarch as well.

 

And just because, it is also known as the plain tiger - which is a bit silly as there are no tigers in Africa.
