Monarch Caterpillar
The Monarch Caterpillar and is on a Milkweed plant which is one of the favourite plants the butterfly prefers to lay their eggs on. This is because the caterpillar eats this plant and ingests the poisonous toxins that the plant produces. When the caterpillar eats the plant they store these toxins within their bodies and so in turn make the caterpillar poisonous to its predators.
