Monarch butterflies

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The $Monarch$ butterfly is a classic example of an organism that protects itself from predators through chemical defense. During its caterpillar stage,it feeds on poisonous $Calotropis$ (milkweed) plants. It stores these toxic cardiac glycosides in its body,which makes the adult butterfly highly distasteful and bitter to its predators,such as birds. This serves as an effective anti-predator strategy.
