Viceroy Butterfly - Identification, Habitat, and Behavior #3439843 (License: Personal Use)

This close-up image captures a Viceroy butterfly (Limenitis archippus) with its wings fully spread, revealing bold orange panels bordered by black margins dotted with white spots. The intricate venation and slightly scalloped wing edges are clearly visible against a soft-focus green background of grasses, suggesting a moist meadow or riparian edge habitat. Its smaller size compared to the Monarch and the distinctive black横 bar across the hindwing help distinguish it in the field.
