Best Answer

Monarch Butterflies are poisonous, once digested by a predator a toxin is emitted. Though many predators can withstand certain amounts of the poison and some only eat certain parts of the Monarch that contain less poison than the rest of the body. Also over a long period of time the overwintering adult will become less poisonous thus making it more vulnerable prey.
