Monarchs depend on milkweed (\u003cem\u003eAsclepias\u003c\/em\u003e) as the sole host plant for their larvae, and their caterpillars sequester toxic cardenolides from the plant, making both larvae and adults unpalatable to predators. Found across North America, Central America, the Caribbean, and even parts of Australia and Europe where they have been introduced, the monarch plays a vital role in pollination and serves as an important indicator species for ecosystem health.
