ASCLEPIAS AND MONARCH BUTTERFLIES

Dilemas do norte e do sul
Milkweed in winter, Maryland, USA

Seeds by the wind

Preparations
 
Milkweed (Asclepias sp.) – the only plant where monarch butterflies lay their eggs, and so, essential for the Monarch’s survival. Seeds are wind-pollinated, pods are silky smooth inside, rough and edgy on the outside. Destruction of habitat where the plant grows, threatens the butterfly in North America.

In Brasil, algodaozinho do campo (asclepias currasavica) is used as a medicinal plant. This fact, combined with habitat destruction, also threatens the survival of the Monarch butterfly there.
