These are wonderful comparison shots.

I can see a difference, but I probably wouldn't notice if I saw one or the other in the wild. Thanks for the education.

A fine looking fellow! Thanks for sharing, Rose.

From the photos you shared, I now can see the difference between the two. Your photos are sharp and the details are very clear. Have a great weekend.

The patterns is just one feature.

They do look a lot alike. Had you not said one was a Monarch and one was a Viceroy I probably wouldn't have noticed the difference. Beautiful photos.

Gorgeous butterfly captures!

Martha said...

I would have just assumed both were Monarch butterflies!

Lovely images..
Though they look more or less the same, there is a slight variatiobn in the shape of the wings and colours!!And of course in the tip of the antennae!!

They are shaped very differently. But both beautiful.

Gorgeous butterflies. I loved to see them as a kid.

They are both beautiful pictures of the butterfly. No I don’t see the difference. I am not expert enough.

If they are different and this is the first time I've ever seen him side-by-side to tell the difference. The Viceroy is absolutely stunning and that photo is gorgeous it's like he posed in just the right place for you to get the top part of the yellow flower to make a perfect photo

I see the difference but probably only because you alerted me there was a difference.Hope you are doing well. Hope to get back posting soon!

I really like the vivid colors on the butteflies

I wouldn't notice, either, if I saw one or the other out flitting from flower to flower. I guess those viceroys aren't so tasty as a Monarch. As always, your photos are wonderful!

Perfect!! Love the first one best of all. The yellow flowers make the butterfly even prettier.
I knew the difference between the two butterflies was slight and always forget which is which.

Kodak said...

Both are very pretty. The top one is stunning.

That first photo is one of the prettiest butterflies I've seen, Rose.

You know, I love candles, but don't light them as often as I'd like to either.

Have a peaceful weekend.

These are beautiful images! I never really knew the difference but can see it now when they are side by side. Wonderful images!
