Phylum: Arthropoda  Class: Insecta  Order: Lepidoptera Family: Danaidae  Genus: Danaus

in the midwestern united states it is known as the 'martini sucker'

what? if you're going to give the species information for a monarch, then i have to wonder...

design-wise, this thing should have bigger wings, the red dot should not be extruding from the butterfly, and the sword should be through the martini butterfly.

.....it is in the same genus as the monarch - the monarch species itself is - 'Danaus plexippus'

(not that it is important)

Well done.
very subbtle....

I agree entirely with jmartinek.

this is fun

this is so weird. but i like it for some reason. haha. 4

I love it.
I buy 10 shirts!!!

jmartinek is right. You know how butterflies are caught and stabbed through the middle with a pin and put in a glass box to be viewed? That's how it should appear. If you changed it to where it slightly resembled a monarch with it pinned down by the little martini sword, it would be a way more awesome shirt. I like your concept, but if you tweaked the drawing a bit I'd give it a $5 for sure.

also I think it'd be good if you put the "Phylum: Arthropoda Class: Insecta Order: Lepidoptera Family: Danaidae Genus: Danaus" on there but changed Danaus to something more creative like 'Danaus olivera' or something. make up a species name.
