Question
Suggest two pros and two cons of the trip made by the Monarch butterfly?
Use the following information to answer the next three questions The Monarch butterfly is the most common species of the Milkweed butterflies and is found throughout the world. Each year, the Monarchs fly from Ontario to Mexico, to lay their eggs on the underside of Milkweed leaves. Once the eggs have been laid and the caterpillars emerged, it feeds on the Milkweed and accumulates the alkaloids of the plant. The alkaloids contain poisonous compounds that produce strong physiological effects when consumed. The alkaloids have no effect on the caterpillar itself, but if consumed by a predator, the caterpillar leaves a pungent taste in the predator's mouth. The Viceroy butterfly is also common in North America. As an adult, it resembles the Monarch yet does not have the same pungent taste if eaten. The two species are referred to as Mullerian mimics.
