MilkweedMonarch butterflies depend on Milkweeds as a host plant. Plants in the milkweed family contain toxins which most insects find inedible-but not Monarchs! The caterpillars store these compounds in their bodies, making them distasteful to predators. There are many other insects that also rely on Milkweed, including LargeMilkweed bugs, Milkweed leaf beetles and Milkweed tussock moths. There are 17 Milkweedspecies which are native to Ohio. The Monarch’s favorite Milkweedspecies arelisted below.
