The Queen butterfly mimics the Monarch butterflies but there are differences. Both species feed on the Milkweed species also. The males also have the black spots on the lower wings on both. The lower wing of the queens are void of the black cells and have the sprinkling of white dots. Here is a link to see pics of both butterflies. The caterpillars are a lot alike, but the Queen has three sets of "feelers", where the Monarch only has two. I posted a pic of the Queen caterpillar since the link doesn't show one.
