Hello, I am new here and hope that, this sort of enquiry is OK. I
haven't actually read the faq properly.

I saw two very large butterflies in Crete, in October that I assumed
were Monarchs, not being familiar with them. One was feeding on tamarisk
tree flowers, and the other on a compositae plant, popular with other
species.

Not unlike a Monarch, in size ang=d general colour, it however had some
white flashes on the wings. I found a description of a predominately
African butterfly, that reaches Southern Europe, called the Plain Tiger,
or was it Plane Tiger. I wonder if anyone has any comments about it.
