This is the famous monarch, shown with its wings spread wide and symmetrical, bold panes divided by thick dark veins and a band of small dots running along the wing edges. A slender body and two curling antennae complete the calm, resting pose. The clear, evenly divided panes make it easy to color section by section, and the strong veins guide young hands while still giving older colorists a satisfying pattern. Monarchs are best known for their incredible migration — some travel thousands of miles between North America and Mexico each year. Their bright orange-and-black coloring warns hungry birds that they taste bad, so reaching for orange here keeps it true to life. Try classic orange wings with black veins, or invent a monarch in colors all your own. Either way, matching the two wings keeps that perfect symmetry real butterflies have. Print it on US Letter or A4 and color one of nature's great long-distance travelers.

Coloring Tips

Go classic orange — bright orange panes with dark veins give you the real monarch look.
Trace the veins dark — color the thick veins black or brown so the orange panes stand out between them.
Dot the border white — leave the edge spots uncolored so the rim of dots pops against the wings.
