🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨

Viceroy butterflies have a wingspan of 2.5 to 3.25 inches. Their coloring is deep orange with black edges and veins and white spots on the black border.

The caterpillar is a mix of green, brown, and cream colors. It has two “horns” on its head that look like knobby antennae.

The first thing you might notice about the Viceroy butterfly is that it’s almost identical to the Monarch. The easiest way to tell them apart is to look for the black line on the bottom wing. This line is present in Viceroys, but not Monarchs.

One other key difference between these two species is that Viceroys don’t migrate. Instead, the caterpillars roll up and hibernate in leaves and emerge during the next breeding season.
