When temperatures drop and food becomes scarce, Monarch Butterflies migrate to warmer climates, often traveling thousands of miles to reach their winter roosting sites in Mexico or California. During this journey, they rely on stored fat reserves for energy, as they may not find sufficient food sources along the way. In the winter, they enter a state of diapause, significantly reducing their metabolic rate to conserve energy until temperatures rise and food becomes available again in the spring.

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.
