Monarchs are beautiful orange and black butterflies that are found in North America. They are known for their long Migration patterns, where they travel South for the winter. Monarchs are also well-known for their relationship with Milkweed. Monarchs have lost 90% of their population, due to a number of factors. These include the loss of their natural habitat, the use of pesticides, and climate change.

Milkweed is a type of plant that produces a white sap that is poisonous to many animals. Monarchs are one of the few creatures that can eat milkweed without being harmed. This in turn protects them from predators who have not adapated to being able to eat the amount of toxin in the monarch caterpillar. While adult Monarch butterflies may drink the nectar from other flowering plants, it will only lay its eggs on Milkweed plants.
