How does the monarch butterfly use coloration to protect or conceal themselves?
A Monarch butterfly does not want to conceal itself. It wants all potential predators to notice it and not mistake it for any other type of butterfly. The reason for this is that Monarch apparently taste terrible due to it's diet of milkweed when a caterpillar. Once a predator eats one it never wants to eat another. So the butterflies want to warn off the predators. Viceroy butterflies have noticed this and have adopted the Monarchs coloration. They are essentially saying to the predators "Hey! I look like a Monarch Butterfly so I probably taste bad. Leave me alone and go catch something tasty!"

Butterflies have several means of protecting themselves. Firstly, some are very bright colours. Predators often assume that a bright colour means poisonous.

These eyes appear like larger scarier animals than the predator. This will often deter the predator from attacking.
