Danaus plexippus has a small resident population in portugal, but it is slightly different from this specimen, do you agree in Danaus gilippus strigosus?

  As a more specific species I would agree with your identification. This specific Monarch was snapped in the high desert of Southern Arizona. Posted 9 years ago
