This guide will help you identify the yellow-and-black butterflies flying around your Buddleia bush or the big black butterfly winging past you on a camping trip. Not every orange butterfly you see is a monarch! The butterflies of North America are many and varied, and to identify butterflies, you will probably need some help. So here is a quick gu...
The magnificent monarch may be the most well-known and best-loved of all our insects. There is something truly regal about its size, bright colors, and powerful, soaring flight, but its kingly name supposedly comes from the spotted margins of its wings, which resemble the sable-edged robes worn by royalty at the time of its discovery. Nearly everyo...
It's hard to believe that this insect is completely unrelated to the monarch. The Viceroy gets its name from its resemblance to the popular monarch butterfly (they're both royalty—get it?). They are so similar that this butterfly's identification relies largely on a quite minor difference in the hindwing markings. The Viceroy is one of the most wel...
The red-spotted purple is closely related to—get this—the viceroy (the monarch-mimicking red-and-black butterfly pictured above). Even better, this pretty black-and-blue butterfly is believed to mimic the poisonous pipeline swallowtail (check this species out further down). That makes the Limenitisgenus a pretty amazing bunch of copy-cats, adapting...
This bright orange butterfly wings fast across fields and around forest edges in mid-to-late summer. Some researchers think its orange color is meant to mimic the poisonous monarch butterfly's colors; if so, that makes it yet another in the orange-butterfly mimic category that may also include over a dozen unrelated species. The great spangled has ...
These big, beautiful butterflies can be identified by their bold yellow-and-black stripes, hence their common name. These tigers have an unusual life history. The adults are on the wing in mid-summer, wheeling high among the branches of ash and cherry trees, where the big females lay their eggs. The caterpillar, which is green with little "false ey...
This beautiful insect is the northernmost species of a large tropical genus (Battus) that includes some of the most striking swallowtail butterflies in the tropics, which is saying something. The pipeline swallowtail is generally limited to the southern states, but it has been spotted as far south as Mexico and as far as north as Manitoba, especial...
Like the pipevine swallowtail (above), this is a generally southern species that sometimes ranges as far north as Canada. The caterpillar closely resembles a large bird dropping, which would serve to deter birds and other predators. In the American South, these big caterpillars are often called "orange dogs" for their choice of food plant: citrus t...
This beautiful insect aptly named, with black stripes on a clear white background. Like the giant swallowtail (above), it is a northern representative of a group of butterflies that have many varieties throughout the Neotropics. You will seldom find this species outside of the southern states, but it will sometimes wander north, for example along t...

Fewer than 800 of the known 12,000 lepidopterans found across the United States and Canada are actually Butterflies - the rest being recognized as moths. Butterflies differ from moths in several ways: their wings will typically rest horizontally (flat) and the forewings are not hooked.
