Bandelier National Monument
Amphibians
Bandelier's relatively dry environment limits the variety of amphibians to 2 species of salamanders, 2 species of toad, and 3 species of frogs.  Most of these are found in the riparian zones or near high country ponds.

Queen butterflies are often mistaken for Monarchs because they look so much alike. This is beneficial to the Queen, who is avoided by predators who fear this look-alike may be as toxic as the Monarch.
