Viceroy and Monarch |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Monarch and viceroy butterflies are considered an example of Müllerian mimicry because they are similar in appearance and both species are distasteful to predators. The presence of a strong black line traversing the middle of the hindwing distinguishes the monarch (right) from the viceroy (left). | ||||||
