Got Milkweed? The Importance of Milkweed for Monarch Butterflies


ID : 2296   

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Monarch Butterflies depend on milkweed plants for their life cycle. Milkweed is the only plant Monarch caterpillars eat and the butterflies lay their eggs on. Over time, milkweed plants have significantly decreased, one of the reasons which led to Monarchs being placed on the Endangered Species List. We can change that! Let’s talk about how we can make a difference and make a Pledge to Plant!
