Plain Tiger is One of the First Butterflies Depicted in Art

 Plain tiger, African queen, African Monarch or Danaus chrysippus, thrive in jungle-like conditions and is most often found in drier, wide-open areas. I see them often in our garden ion Bangalore, Karnataka.

The plain tiger is believed to be one of the first butterflies depicted in art. A 3500-year old ancient Egyptian fresco features the oldest known illustration of this species.
