The Butterfly Effect


What are the difference between a Monarch and Viceroy butterfly?


Monarch Butterfly


Viceroy Butterfly


A Monarch is poisonous, poisonous enough that their predators would not feed on them.

While a Viceroy is not poison at all yet it mimics the Monarch color patterns so that their predators will mistake them as a Monarch and would take it as a warning and leave them alone.


Just like a Viceroy,
we humans,
lie,
pretend,
mimic,
skilled at deception to defend ourselves,
to let the others think it's in their best interests to stay away.
