Viceroy Butterfly Life Cycle. The monarch (Danaus plexippus) is a brushfooted butterfly of the Danainae subfamily. It is perhaps the most well-known of all North American butterflies. Since the 19th century, it is also found in New Zealand, and has been known in Australia since 1871. [1] [2] In Australia it is also known as the wanderer butterfly. [3] In Europe it is resident in the Canary Islands and Madeira, and is found as a migrant in Russia, Azores, Sweden and Spain. Its wings feature an easily recognizable orange and black pattern, with a wingspan of 8.5â12.5 cm (3.34 inâ4.92in). (The viceroy butterfly has a similar size, color, and pattern, but can be distinguished by an extra black stripe across the hindwing.)
