Fun Fact: The Plain Tiger butterfly (Danaus chrysippus), also known as the African Monarch, is a striking butterfly belonging to the Nymphalidae family. It is widely distributed across Africa, Asia, the Middle East and parts of Australia and is recognised by its rich orange-brown wings bordered with black and dotted with distinctive white markings. The caterpillars commonly feed on milkweed and related plants, allowing them to accumulate defensive chemicals that can make the adults unpalatable to many predators. Adults are often seen visiting flowers for nectar in gardens, grasslands and open habitats. Its bold colouring and elegant wing pattern make the Plain Tiger an attractive species for preserved butterfly displays, educational collections and natural-history specimens.
