Oh oh

Radek, that's not a butterfly. No, no, that is the vicious disease carrying macka-bug that can bring a grown man to his knees. Be careful out there. These suckers can kill ya.

Definitely not a monarch

Monarchs are bright orange with black rib-like markings (and poisonous, but only if you bite them, not the other way 'round).

This looks like a California tortoiseshell, Nymphalis Californica
