Best Answer

The Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is a member of the Nymphalidae family. It is a brush-footed butterfly. If you look at one up-close, you may not notice that it has six legs. Brush-footed butterflies do have six legs; the top two legs are just a bit shorter so you don't see them as easily. Monarchs are in the same family as the Gulf Fritillary (Agraulis vanillae).
