English Literature Class 10 Term 2, Answer to the question – 6.6 Why did Viceroy butterflies copy the Monarchs? (The Making of a Scientist)

The answer – The emissary butterflies taste great, while the ruler butterflies don’t taste great. Normally, the birds don’t eat the ruler butterflies. So to shield themselves from the birds, they duplicate the rulers and deceive the birds.
