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
