Milkweed Butterflies - subfamily Danainae |
| Milkweed butterflies or Monarchs are found throughout
the tropical world. Many species of this group are distasteful to
predators because of the accumulation of toxic chemicals derived from
the caterpillar food plants. Three species of this subfamily are
found in Florida: Monarch, Queen, and Soldier. |

Monarch - Danaus plexippus |

Soldier - Danaus eresimus |
