Hi Juannie & welcome to Project Noah! This is a female monarch you can tell because she lacks the spot on the lower wings that the males have which is the gland that releases the pheromones to attract a mate! You might like to add this to a couple of missions - Monarch Migration, & Butterflies & Moths of the World. If you like on the Missions tab above you can browse & join any that interest you.
