One of our feio migrating butterflies is the Monarch, 
tawny red with a wing spread of 4". Often, in autumn, 
it moves south in great swarms 
An example of protective form and coloration 
is furnished by the Question-sign, whose name 
comes from the silvery mark on its hind wings. 
The species hibernates in cold weather 
Hunter's butterfly, or Painted Beauty, has a 
wider range than almost any other butterfly. 
It is found from Nova Scotia to Mexico. Orange, 
white and purplish brown are its colors 
Large, showy in its dress of green, orange and 
bluish black, the Spicebush Swallow-tail always 
attracts attention. Allied species are found in 
the West Indies and South America
