The adaptation of the monarch butterfly is a early diet of milkweed. This diet of milkweed ensures the caterpillars and the adults taste terrible. A predator has only to taste the bitter monarch once to learn to avoid them in the future.

Is the viceroy butterfly's adaptations as effective as the monarch butterfly's no because?
The Monarch Butterfly (larvae) has adapted itself to eat milkweed plants, which are very bitter. Because of the food source, the butterfly begins to taste like milkweed to predators. This makes it so that predators don't want to eat them, and the butterfly is relatively protected from this type of predator. The Viceroy Butterfly has only adapted its color to that of the Monarch Butterfly, not its taste. This makes it unappealing to the same predators, thus increasing its chances of survival. This is known as Batesian Mimicry.
