| Description |
One of the joys of autumn is to see milkweed pods burst and release their seeds to float away on a breeze to perhaps land in an auspicious spot where a new plant can thrive. Some species are the food source for Monarch Butterfly larvae i.e. caterpillars. There has been a collapse in the Monarch population and that is expected to affect pollination. Milkweed is named for its milky juice which consists of a latex containing alkaloids and several other complex compounds including cardenolides. Some species are known to be toxic. Milkweeds are an important nectar source for bees and other nectar-seeking insects, and a larval food source for monarch butterflies and their relatives, as well as a variety of other herbivorous insects (including numerous beetles, moths, and true bugs) specialized to feed on the plants despite their chemical defenses.
