The Monarch Butterfly (known as the Monarch prior to New Leaf) is a butterfly that can be found in September, October, and November. It is very common. Like most bugs, the creature sells for a considerably lower amount than all fish - in this case, lower than all of them. It is the only butterfly to appear during the fall and one is of four bugs (itself, the Cricket, the Bell Cricket, and the Migratory Locust) to be limited to autumn.

Real-world information
The monarch, sometimes known as the wanderer, is a milkweed butterfly with a wingspan ranging from 8.9 to 10.2 cm. Native to North America, the monarch can also be found in New Zealand, Australia, Portuguese archipelagos, and occasionally in Western Europe. Aside from their vivid orange coloration, the monarch is famous for its annual migration to and from North and South America, of which no single individual survives — the entire journey takes three to four generations of monarchs to complete. Due to their milkweed diet, the monarch is toxic, or at the very least distasteful to many would-be predators. The highest concentration of toxins can be found in the wings and abdomen of the monarch. The males have a brighter coloration than the females, and are slightly larger. Males also have two small black spots on their rear-wings [see picture], something that is not shared with females.
