Mimics of monarchs, Viceroys have similar coloring but are slightly smaller.  Viceroys are non-toxic to predators, so their is an advantage in mimicing monarchs.  More information here.  If there is a parallel line ot the edges of the hindwing, it's a vViceroy.  Check the willow trees at Huyler House pond for Viceroys.
