The majestic monarch butterfly or simply the regal monarch (Danaus plexippus) takes flight as a magnificent milkweed butterfly, showcasing its beautiful Danainae subfamily credentials within the esteemed Nymphalidae family. Various local names have emerged over time, such as milkweed, common tiger, wanderer, and black-veined brown, all contributing to this monarch's mystique. Undoubtedly, it reigns as the most recognizable North American butterfly, solidifying its iconic status as a prized pollinator species. The majestic monarch proudly displays an eye-catching black, orange, and white design on its striking wings, spanning an impressive 8.9-10.2 cm (3 1/2 -4 inches). Notably, its resemblance to the viceroy butterfly is intriguing, despite the smaller size and extra black stripe across each hindwing of the latter.
