| Monarch butterfly (*Danaus plexippus*) with open wings displayed against a white background. The wings feature bright orange coloration with black veins and white spots along the edges. The body is slender and black with small white markings. This butterfly is well-known for its long migratory patterns across North America and its role in pollination. The contrasting colors serve as a warning to predators about its toxicity, derived from the milkweed plants it consumes during its larval stage. |
