Florida Viceroy Butterfly (Basilarchia archippus floridensis) Florida. Detail of the underside of the living butterfly's wing shows the color patterns of the scales on the wing membrane and the supporting framework of veins. For many years, Viceroys were considered to be Batesian mimics of the Monarch (Danaus plexippus) and Queen (Danaus gilippus) butterflies, which gain protection from vertebrate predators by injesting toxins from their milkweed host plants while they are caterpillars. Recent evidence suggests that the relationship between the three species is more a case of Mullerian mimicry, with all three butterflies acting as bad-tasting "models". The Viceroy acquires its bad taste by injesting the bitter salicylic acid found in the leaves of its willow tree host while it is a caterpillar. Salacylic acid is a major ingredient of aspirin, a common non-prescription pain killer. The Viceroy is found in wetlands with willows throughout Florida.
