they coevoled as plant and pollintor , that means they both rely on each other to survive
Eggs on milkweed are eggs of monarch butterflies or milkweed beetles.
Monarch butterflies are large, black and orange in color with white spots. Monarch butterflies closest relatives are the milkweed butterflies.
They feed themselves by finding milkweed. Or they are caterpillars and once again milkweed.
Monarch Butterflies because they feed on milkweed and milkweed is poison.
butterfly fish reproduce by laying eggs in the sea
Monarch butterflies will only lay their eggs on milkweed because it is their hostplant. A hostplant is the plant that the caterpillar will eat when it hatches from its egg. So, the monarch caterpillar will only eat milkweed, and the monarch butterfly will only lay its eggs on milkweed. The monarch depends in the milkweed, the milkweed does not depend on the monarch butterflies.
because, the milkweed which they feed on dies their skin orange...
I am growing Milkweed , and Monarch butterflies will only lay her eggs on them because monarch caterpillas can only eat this type of plant. :) I hope I helped everyone with this question :) Anymore question inbox me on facebook : Gustav V-Sloan
monarchs lay their eggs on many plants such as milkweed and swan plants
They don't hurt the milkweed plant, really. They do drink the nectar in the flower and/or lay eggs underneath the leaves of the plant.
Monarch butterfly larvae (caterpillars) feed exclusively on milkweed. The adult Monarch butterfly drinks the juices of soft fruits (usually fallen fruits), and nectar from flowers. It drinks the nectar of milkweed flowers, which makes it poisonous to predators.
What plants Monarch butterflies do not like is not all that important, though no specific plants that they do not like are known. The most important thing is that they not only like, but need specific kinds of milkweed for their survival. They lay their eggs on milkweed and the caterpillars feed on the plant.
