no they are only poisonous to other insects the poison is like watery blood to us if you get bit the poison is harmless the only way the poison will get into your lungs and you will choke have breathing problems and soon you will die but who is stupid enough to eat one ??? do not eat the plant MILKWEED or you might still die because there might be a monarch butterfly egg or monarch butterfly caterpillar nymph on it because it is their favorite food in the world!!!!!
Yes, I'm sure it could, but butterflies are beautiful and I hope we never have to find out. In the world's history, literally millions of species have probably become extinct. This does include many insects, and they have all played a role in the food chain somewhere. Still, Einstein once made a statement that if the world lost all of its bees, humanity most likely wouldn't survive for more than a few years. Again, I hope that's something we never have to find out!
Three to Four generations.
- The last generation of the previous year migrates south to winter. The migrating generation is the first generation of monarchs in the Spring to begin migrating North. They will mate, lay eggs, and die. Their eggs will start the cycle over again, hatching, growing, pupating, emerging, mating, laying eggs and dying, again living up to 8 weeks. Each of three to four generations over the summer lives the same kind of life.

The Monarch Butterfly population, as well as numerous other animal species, is suffering the effects of man-made events as well as the consequences of the "global warming" phenomenon.
Scientists assert that the global climate change may cause the Monarch's over-wintering sites in Mexico to become wetter, and the spring and summer breeding areas of the United States west coast and mid-western agricultural belt to become warmer. As temperatures become too warm for this species, their summer migrations may take them even further northward.
one brood. one brood is 100-700 eggs. only around 40 survive.
it helps them breath because they dont have lungs
Yes. Any type of living breathing creature that moves has a brain. Otherwise the dragonfly would not be able to move. Since it is the brain that tells everything what to do.
Monarch Butterflies especially like the following plants and flowers:

The adult dragon-flies die off with the cold. However - the eggs which those adults laid during mating, lie dormant until the warmer spring weather triggers them to hatch into larvae - and the cycle of life begins again.
the early settlers of Colonial America were impressed with this striking insect and gave it the name "monarch" in honor of "King William, Prince of Orange, stateholder of Holland, and later King of England
Monarch butterflies travel south to Mexico in the winter, then back north in the summer.
A monarch caterpillar will look for milk weed, once it finds one it will eat from it. That's how they get their poison. When they come out of their chrysalis they will fly around and every once in a while land on a milk eed and possibly spend a few minutes to a few hours on it. Monarch butterflies will eat milk weed too.
Tumors form when a cell starts reproducing uncontrollably, then the cells start grouping together forming an abnormal mass of tissue, this swelling is a tumor. Tumors serve no physiological function;
