This large butterfly is one of the most commonly known in the United States. Monarchs are easily identified, though Viceroy butterflies also look similar. Monarchs winter in Mexican forests, but migrate to many parts of North America. Their larvae (caterpillars) feed almost exclusively on milkweeds.
