	Danaus information - Search.com
		Danaus, or Danaos ("sleeper") was a Greek mythological character, twin brother of Aegyptus and son of Belus, a mythical king of Egypt.
		The myth of Danaus is a foundation legend (or re-foundation legend) of Argos, one of the foremost Mycenaean cities of the Peloponnesus.
		The descendants of Danaus' "blameless" daughter Hypermnestra, through Danae, led to Perseus, founder of Mycenae, thus suggesting that Argos had a claim to be the metropolis, or "mother city" of Mycenae.

		In this system, each species is given genus and species names usually derived from Latin or Greek.
		The scientific name for humans is Homo sapiens, the honeybee is Apis mellifera, and the monarch butterfly is Danaus plexippus.
		Genus and species names may sometimes seem unnecessarily complicated, but the use of scientific names is worthwhile for several reasons.

		In this system, the genus and species make up the binomial epithet, or scientific name of the species.
		A species is a biological group of morphologically similar organisms that share the same gene pool (in other words, they can and do interbreed).
		Notice that the family name always ends with -idae, and the genus and species are always italicized or underlined.

		Classification of the cosmopolitan butterfly genus Danaus (Nymphalidae: Danainae) is revised at subgeneric, specific and subspecific levels, combining for the first time mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence information with morphological data.
		Tree topologies based on the nuclear genome (allozymes, pheromone components, the morphology of all life history stages and nuclear DNA sequences), on the one hand, and mitochondrial DNA, on the other, are incongruent and challenge the current taxonomy of the genus.

		Genus ANAEA: These Central and South American butterflies are called LEAFWINGS since the undersides of the wings are leaf-like and help to disguise the butterfly when it settles on the ground.
		Larvae of this genus feed on members of the milkweed and dogbane families, and render themselves poisonous to predators by storing plant poisons.
		Genus MORPHO: Central and South American species which have always caught much attention, as the large, obvious males are a very bright metallic blue.

	Monarch Butterfly
		The most recent reclassification of the genus Danainae, also known as the milkweed butterflies, was in 1984 (Ackery and Vane-Wright).
		Both the tribes and their subdivisions are South American species, but are very closely related to the North American genera, Danaus Danaus plexippus (Kitching et al.) This is the species which migrates annually through North America into its wintering grounds in Mexico (Urquhart 1988).
		This evidence supports the theory that the genus Danainae evolved in Central America and the northern part of South America, and is endemic to those areas (Ackery and Vane-Wright 1984).

	Monarch Butterfly Kit Monarch Butterfly Fact
		The Milkweed plant (Genus: Asclepius) is a common plant that contains toxins.
		The Monarch is considered a beneficial insect because its caterpillar eats the noxious milkweed plant (Genus: :Asclepias) that invade some farms.
		Monarch butterflies, like all butterflies, can only eat liquids and must sip all their food using a tube-like proboscis, which is a long, flexible "tongue." This proboscis uncoils and extends and coils up again into a spiral when not in use.

		In the genus Danaus, all male butterflies have a pair of eversible androconia at the abdominal tip (coremata).
		Danaus larvae feed on very toxic milkweeds that do not contain PAs, whereas the adult males visit some PA plants (Boraginaceae or Fabaceae) to sequester the alkaloid precursors of their pheromones: a male reared in captivity without access to PA plants is not able to mate.

		The Eastern Gray Squirrel is in the Sciurus Genus, while the Eastern Chipmunk is in the Tamias Genus.
		One thing that makes it easier to understand all these names is to know that a Species always has a first and a last name; and that the first name is also the name of the Genus group that Species is in.
		So the Monarch butterfly is known as Danaus plexipus and it is in the Danaus genus.
