22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Viceroy and Monarch Butterflies Canon sx60hs

Here you have two different species of butterflies that most people would call the same species. But they are different, not both Monarchs. The one with the V at the base of both wings is a Viceroy. They are almost identical, yet slightly different.
