They declared the forest where they overwinter a protected area
Their cranium bone helps the monarch keep its' organs safe
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.
Butterflies are almost defenseless. They use camouflage to hide from predators and some species are poisonous to predators. Poisonous butterflies include the Monarch and the small postman.
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 monarch butterfly protects itself by its bright warning coloration. When a bird eats aMonarch butterfly, he will get sick and vomit it up. The next time, the bird will not eat a Monarch. The Viceroy butterfly also has similar coloration, but it does not produce the same somewhat poisonous chemicals that the Monarch does
Many butterflies use eye spots, like peacocks, for defense. The spots are a common form of defense that use a pattern on the top, underneath, or both sides or their front and back wings. Some butterfly species have two large eye spots on their rear wings. When a predator approaches, the butterfly will suddenly show its eye spots and frighten the would-be attacker away.
Butterflies do not have external plates, but they have an exoskeleton, which helps to support and protect its body.
Butterflies protect themselves by the brightness of their wings showing their poisonous.
