Colouring ideas

Use orange and amber for the wing panels, then pick out the swirls and hearts in red, pink or turquoise. Leave the spots along the borders white for contrast.

Did you know?

A monarch butterfly's bright orange wings warn birds that it tastes bitter, because its caterpillars eat milkweed plants that contain toxins.

Try this

Colour one wing first, then try to copy the same colours on the other wing to keep it symmetrical.
