Monarchs: beautiful
but poisonous
By Kerma Crouse
You may have noticed the annual
migration of the monarch butterfly is
in progress• These amazing butterflies
make a 3,000 mile migratory trip from
Canada to Mexico (or southern Cali-
fornia) each year in the late summer
and early fall.
This trip is much farther than the
journey of any other butterfly. But also
interesting is the fact these beautiful
insects are poisonous. This brightly
marked butterfly is avoided by preda-
tors because of their vile taste. The
taste is partly because of the
cardenolides which are present in the
body and wings of the butterfly. The
butterflies acquire those substances
when they are caterpillars.
The female monarchs lay their eggs
on the leaves of the poisonous milk-
weed plant. The eggs hatch into cater-
pillars. Milkweed leaves are the only
food the newly hatched caterpillars
eat.
The poisonous cardenolides which
are ingested by the caterpillars remain
with them even as they undergo meta-
morphosis. It is during their metamor-
phosis in the chrysalis when they be-
come the monarch butterflies we enjoy
in our flower gardens. Beautiful, but
poisonous.
