The Monarch

Probably one of the most recognizable butterflies ever, here we have the Monarch. They are multivoltine as well and most of the ones here right now are in the middle of their great migration.
The larvae have vertical yellow, white, and black stripes, but the adult (as you can see) is black with white spots. The chrysalis are smooth and bright green with what looks like a little necklace about 2/3 of the way up it. They adults have the stained glass look with the orange and black and the top tips of their wings are spotted like their bodies.

Monarchs are milkweed eaters and can be found anywhere where milkweed can be found from southern Canada to most of South America and even on many pacific islands - including Hawaii.
