About this episode

The episode discusses the viceroy butterfly's unique toxins and its implications for evolutionary theory.

The viceroy butterfly was long thought to be a non-toxic mimic of the monarch, but research has proven it produces its own powerful toxins. This discovery corrects an evolutionary assumption and highlights the unique protective designs given to different species. Image: Viceroy Butterfly, PiccoloNamek, CC BY-SA 3.0, Wikimedia Commons.
