The monarch’s wingspan ranges from 8.9–10.2 cm (3 –4 in). The upper side of the wings is tawny-orange, the veins and margins are black, and in the margins are two series of small white spots. The fore wings also have a few orange spots near the tip. The underside is similar, but the tip of the fore wing and hind wing are yellow-brown instead of tawny-orange and the white spots are larger.
The male has a black patch of androconial scales on either hind wing (in some butterflies, these patches disperse pheromones, but are not known to do so in monarchs), and the black veins on its wing are narrower than the female’s. The male is also slightly larger.
A color variation has been observed in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and the United States as early as the late 19th century. Named nivosus by lepidopterists, it is grayish-white in all areas of the wings that are normally orange. Generally, it is only about 1% or less of all monarchs, but has maintained populations as high as 10% on Oahu in Hawaii, possibly due to selective predation.

Technically part of Dana Point but not really as it resembles more laguna beach as Dana Point can be sorta ghetto in areas like Viole(n)t lantern and capo beach near costco. Very upscale with 5 star hotels like St Regis and Ritz carlton there and a golf course. Everyone is white and drives BMWs Mercedes and Bentleys. Justin Bieber and George bush have stayed there and other famous peeps including the AIG scandal. Also got Salt Creek and Strands where there are killer waves and gorgeous ocean views. People here are white, affluent and are either super republican snobs or beach surfer bros. Also there is a park with absolutely nothing in it and is lit 24/7 wasting resources. Also a library where weird old people, hobos and pedophiles hang out. Yeah also magic johnson lives at the strands, occasionally see him at chipotle. Also people tend to think when they go to monarch beach that they are in newport or some shit but monarch beach > newport imo. less infinity pools, youre actually on the ocean as opposed to on some cliff and you can chill in the hotels and get schwack. Its a shame we cant put this as our city on facebook and instead are grouped with Dana Point or Laguna Beach. Also home to the infamous/famous jlm who drives a maserati and regularly freuents the tanning salon in monarch bay plaza and the starbucks and is self proclaimed miss monarch beach. Oh and gelsons has dank food and RIP gelato paradiso.
Person A- "You live in Dana Point? Isnt that where Dana Pills High school is where people do black tar and weird shit? Also dont you guys have a harbor or something?"
Pimpdaddy B- Nah thats Dana Point, im from monarch beach. we got Salt creek strands and starbucks for dayz
