they get their energy from the food they eat and from the sun, because they are solar powered.

Please plant some milkweed for the monarchs because Texas is a gateway for the monarchs to find their way into the rest of the United States. The monarchs need the milkweed to lay their eggs. The adult butterflies will appreciate marigolds, lantana, phlox, dill, butterfly bush, zinnia, hollyhocks and daylilies.
There are some birds that eat monarchs, some mammals such as mice , several insects and some parasites . Monarchs are mostly concerned with feeding off of milkweeds .
Dont trip bro!
Like you and me they get energy from the food they get.
A butterfly is a primary consumer. Butterflies mainly consume nectar and liquids. No butterfly eats, they all live on a liquid diet.
Yes, there is a butterfly called the viceroy that mimics the appearance of the monarch butterfly to gain protection from predators. Despite not being closely related to monarchs, viceroys have evolved to look very similar in order to share in the monarch's distastefulness to predators.
