The Viceroy's colors mimic those of the Monarch butterfly. They do this to protect themselves against predators. Predators know that Monarch Butterflies do not taste good, so they avoid them, and therefore will also avoid the Viceroy.

According to the WWF and the IUCN, Monarch Butterflies are not currently endangered. However, their migratory patterns are at risk because their routes are endangered due to habitat loss. Illegal deforestation of their overwintering grounds is the greatest current threat. Logging of their traditional wintering grounds means the butterflies have fewer places to rest during winter. Not only that, but such habitat loss reduces their supply of milkweed, a key component of their diet. There is some evidence, too, that chemicals used to kill milkweed also affect the caterpillars and adult Monarch Butterflies. Efforts to protect the Monarch Butterfly are underway, with laws being passed in areas of Mexico and California that protect parts of the monarch butterfly's habitat.
The Viceroy mimics the Monarch for a special reason. The Monarch is poisonous, and so by the Viceroy acting like it's poisonous, predators avoid it. There is one difference though, the Viceroy has a black line running across his lower hind-wings. no^ the color of the viceroy is close to the monarchs and so at mating season it can affect them
UV rays affect butterflies. It will make the species extinct.
Butterflies affect the environment by pollinating flowers, fruit and other types of trees, which in turn affects the environment.
Some negative impacts people put on monarchs are that when they go to hibernate some trucks can kill them when they are going over the road. Another thing is that some people go off and try to kill these beautiful butterflies some people also try and mess with them when they are in there canoe and trying to form into a butterfly and that can affect how the monarch will turn out so that is another negative thing that people impact on beautiful monarchs.
All colours affect memory. if you saw yellow while you were getting married everytime you saw yellow it would remember you of your wedding. some colours trigger memory more than others but most colours affect memory
It's likely that the plant you found the caterpillar on is the type it likes to eat, and in some cases what the caterpillar eats can affect it as an adult. For example, monarch butterflies, which are poisonous and bad-tasting, gain this by eating milkweed as caterpillars.
