Viceroy butterfly
The Viceroy butterfly (Limenitis archippus) is a North American butterfly with a range from the Northwest Territories along the eastern edges of the Cascade Range and Sierra Nevada mountains. Its wings feature an orange and black pattern which mimics the Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus). In Florida, Georgia, and the Southwest, Monarch are less common, and Viceroys mimic the Queen butterfly (Danaus gilippus).
The caterpillar lives in trees in the willow family Salicaceae, including willows (Salix), and poplars and cottonwoods (Populus). The caterpillars collect the salicylic acid, which makes them bitter, and upset the stomachs of predators.

eva diane is correct, and drop me a line if you want, I'm a semester away from a degree in scientific illustration and I'm halfway through a senior thesis on swallowtail butterflies. Which I'm doing as a website...which is somewhere around here...here we go:

So, maybe that will give you some ideas if it's a flexible sort of project. Please forgive the unprofessional half-assed scannings of the B&W's, they were from an earlier project and I just slapped them up there to get things situated. Good luck!

the butterfly is 2 and a half to 3 inches and the full grown caterpillar is 1.5 inches long. I am assuming that the chrysalis is a bit bigger than the full grown caterpillar..sorry, only found the above in my book.

i could say no. If somebody is finding for a date, or a boyfriend, i could say that ought to be something they could think of approximately later interior the dating, while they are waiting to be sexually energetic with the guy, reckoning on what style of female they are. i could wager that maximum women could date a guy regardless, yet marriage is an entire diverse subject in case you wanna pass into that: i've got heard of a few human beings no longer desirous to marry their companion through fact of their penis length, yet that's no longer probably definitely everyone.
