<p>The Monarch is one of the largest Canadian butterflies (wingspan: 93 to 105 mm). Bright orange with heavy black veins, it stands out, but for a reason. It&aposs toxic. The caterpillars, which are banded white, yellow and black, eat milkweed containing poisons, cardiac glycosides, which protect the plants from most herbivores. The caterpillars are not affected but store the poison in their bodies, passing it on to the butterfly. Birds eating a monarch become violently ill and learn to leave...</p>
