Monarch Mimic Scores Billboard
September 5, 2010
Amy's Viceroy
It is a Viceroy Butterfly, not the Monarch in the Mexico tourism billboard. This billboard is at San Fernando Road and Cazador. It would be an excellent Saddlesore background for a quick shot of Lisa Anne Auerbach scheduled for 8 AM tomorrow. Seems this excellent mimic can even fool people. If butterflies have to adapt to anything these days, it is to people, collectors and tourists alike. That could be a graduate thesis topic for me should I ever decide to become a doctor.
