Damnifiknow. The link you posted wants money, and I refuse to pay to read. I've never heard of temperature differences causing wing color differences. Monarchs live in every temperate climate and overwinter in Mexico, none of the photographs I've seen from their winter quarters have ever shown a particularly large color variation. On the other hand the difference between the colors I saw in Walters photo and mine were reminiscent of the difference I observed when I converted to jpeg on a few images without first converting to the correct color space.
