Viceroy vs Monarch & buglove with two cabbage butterflies
I always enjoy checking your site for the newest listings. Attached are two photos that you might want in the files. The first is a stitched pair – on the left is a Viceroy and on the right is a Monarch. Having them side by side makes comparing the two much easier. The second photo is of a pair of cabbage butterflies mating. Perhaps it could be added to the bug love page. Enjoy,
Tetrazole

Hi Tetrazole,
The Viceroy and Monarch comparison is a much welcomed addition to our site as is the image of the mating Cabbage White Butterflies. Readers should take note of the black postmedian band on the lower wing of the Viceroy which is the most obvious distinguising feature for ensuring proper identification of the species.
