    Well the monarch butterfly and the viceroy have the same patterns and colors because of mimicry but there's something different about those two butterflies the monarch butterfly is poisonous and the viceroy is not so if some bird tries to eat one of these butterflies and pics the wrong one the monarch butterfly will leave him with a poisonous mouth
