Queen Butterfly, Danaus gilippus: The National Butterfly Center; Mission, Texas
The Queen Butterfly is a North
and South American species of the Nymphalidae family that consist of some 6,000
different butterfly species. They have
colorful upperwings that lay flat when resting.
Their contrasting, dull underwings
look like dead leaves, which provides the Queen Butterfly with cryptic
camouflauge. Other species of the
Nymphalidae family include Emperors, Monarchs, Admirals,
Tortoiseshells, and Fritillaries.
