Peter, Walt, Bob,

Is there natural variation in Monarch wing color?
I did a quick google search and came across a scientific study of
monarchs reared at different temperatures in a lab. The article is
mostly concerned with larva colour, but also mentions that adult
females from populations grown in warmer conditions become darker than
usual.

Now since Walt lives in Florida... :-)
