Two adaptations of the monarch butterfly that aid in its survival are the production of a certain chemical and a distinctive coloration that other animals can easily recognize. When a monarch butterfly is eaten, the presence of the chemical results in a bad taste to the predator. Although the viceroy butterfly does not contain the chemical that tastes bad to a predator, it does resemble the monarch in size, shape, and coloration.
