Monarch (Danau plexippus)
bugguide
"...compare Viceroy, which has a dark line across hindwing and is smaller."
See ND Butterflies
(pdf file mentioned here)
Besides the Viceroy, there are Queen and Soldier under the Genus Danaus
which look similar to the Monarch.
In ND butterfly pdf it says that "occasionally, a second species, the Queen [Danaus gilippus] butterfly strays into the Northern United States." (pg 8 under milkweed butterflies)
Soldier (Danaus eresimus) is not in North Dakota.
