I believe this is a monarch butterfly. But it could be a Viceroy butterfly which has evolved to look like the poisonous monarch so that predators will avoid him too! This was from two summers past, taken in my backyard. An uncropped version.

The monarch butterfly is sometimes called the "milkweed butterfly" because its larvae eat the plant. Milkweed is the only thing the larvae can eat. Most predators have learned that the monarch butterfly makes a poisonous snack. The toxins from the monarch's milkweed diet have given the butterfly this defense. In either the caterpillar or butterfly stage, the monarch needs no camouflage because it takes in toxins from the milkweed and is poisonous to predators. Many animals advertise their poisonous nature with bright colors... just like the monarch!
