Danaus gilippus
A butterfly possibly mimicking a Monarch
Botanical Gardens in San Antonio TX
and the queen mimicking viceroy - looks like a cross between the two - http://www.mclaughlinwatercolor.com/lg_v...
It is most definitely the Queen. A relative of the monarch and not a mimic. The viceroy looks very similar to the monarch with only slightly different markings
