Carnivorous caterpillars have the same life style and reproduction as any other caterpillars. They will be a caterpillar until it builds a cocoon to become a moth or butterfly.

That is a VERY good question. I was just researching the exact thing. While there are almost 300 species of MOTH caterpillars that will, at least ocassionally, eat maple leaves (Eastern US only--I can't say anything about the rest of the world) based on information from the "Bringing Nature Home" website, there are NO LISTINGS at all for ANY butterfly caterpillars in "Caterpillars of Eastern North America" by David Wagner, nor have I found any internect references contradicting this conclusion. One comment though, there are photographs of the Harvester Butterfly, North Americas only carnivorous caterpillar, eating Wolly Maple Aphids and these aphids are only found on maple trees!

Yes, monarch butterfly caterpillars eat milkweed, which makes them poisonous. Different types of caterpillars eat different types of plants. Even butterflies stick with one type of flower and won't drink nectar from any other species.
Citrus butterflies are not directly medically important to humans. They are mainly considered pests in citrus orchards because their caterpillars feed on citrus leaves, which can damage the trees and reduce fruit production.
