There are many species which sequester alkaloids from plants, usually as a self-defence mechanism. Absorption of alkaloids by such species will usually render the organisms unpalatable largely because of the bitter taste that results. Certain ant, caterpillar, mite, frog, etc. species extract - and possibly metabolise - plant alkaloids to synthesise new ones or may simply secrete those absorbed during feeding on plants containing them.
