Rex

            A Monarch Poised - You see those small black dots by its body on the wings? ... That's how you know it's a male ... A group of monarchs is called a "flutter ..." A Viceroy is a butterfly that looks almost exactly like a monarch ... It evolved that way via "Batesian Mimicry." Through this process of evolution an edible animal such as the Viceroy takes on the appearance of a noxious one (like the monarch) as defense mechanism to stave off predators ... Talk about intelligent design.
