Killing weeds may kill butterflies | Grist
grist.org — “Monarch butterflies lay their eggs on milkweed, and as young caterpillars, they eat the stuff. But humans like to have neat rows of corn and soybeans, and milkweed interferes with their field aesthetics. Which is more important? Doesn’t matter; humans have thumbs, agriculture, and industrial chemistry. Thus, 100 million acres of row crops are now milkweed-free; Monarch butterflies have fewer places to stash their young; and their population may be dwindling.” View full resource at grist.org

Study finds monarch butterflies use medicinal plants to treat offspring for disease
eurekalert.org — “New research led by Emory University finds that monarch butterflies appear to use medicinal plants to treat their offspring for disease, and that some species of milkweed, the larva's food plants, can reduce parasite infection in the monarchs. The research also found that infected female butterflies prefer to lay their eggs on plants that will make their offspring less sick, suggesting that monarchs have evolved the ability to medicate their offspring.” View full resource at eurekalert.org

The good and the bad in the vegetable garden - Houston Chronicle
chron.com — “What are the little red bugs with black legs on my cucumbers and tomatoes? Sounds like either immature leaf-footed bugs, which are undesirable insects, or similar-looking young milkweed assassin bugs, which are beneficial insects. The flowers in your photos are balling, a condition caused by the environment, insects and disease. Thrips are tiny, dark insects that typically don't cause true balling, but they can keep buds from opening correctly. Ladybugs, big-eyed bugs, lacewings and beneficial n” View full resource at chron.com
