The Viceroy Butterfly (Limenitis archippus) became Kentucky’s "Official Butterfly" in (1990). The
viceroy is dark orange with black veins.  A row of  white spots edge its wings.  Its color and pattern
mimics the monarch butterfly's pattern, except for a black horizontal stripe that crosses the bottom of
its back wings.
