The genus and the epithet combine to yield the scientific name Danaus plexippus . Because it is multicellular, it belongs to the domain Eukaryota (Smith 2014).
The insect order Lepidoptera comprises the butterflies, moths, and skippers. They can be distinguished from all other insects by their two pairs of scale-covered wings. They undergo complete metamorphosis: eggs are laid, from which larvae hatch, and a pupal stage follows, during which the final adult form takes shape.
