Is a Missouri native plant and vital to the Monarch. Citizens in Missouri and far beyond are concerned about the dramatic drop in monarch butterfly populations, which is due in large part to the decline of the monarch butterfly caterpillar host plants, milkweed species (Asclepias) across its North America migratory route. During the larvae stage it feeds off the foliage of the asclepia plant. Plants that provide nectar sources for adult butterflies - as well as many, many other beneficial insects including numerous pollinators - are also of critical importance. |
