Thanks to Philip P. with the correction of the ID and good info as follows: "That butterfly has fooled you, its a Viceroy butterfly which is very edible to birds, but it imitates a highly toxic Monarch butterfly (which a small peck of which, will make a bird violently ill, hence its warning colors that birds learn to avoid). Thus the Viceroy gains protection by looking very much like a Monarc"
