What is the threat here in the U.S.?

0

In the U.S. the ‘flyway’ habitat of the Monarch butterfly from the Rio Grande to Canada is rapidly disappearing, as milkweed is being eradicated by farmers using Roundup and other strong herbicides on the genetically modified (G.M.) crops they are planting. This is a pronounced phenomenon of the past 10 years or so. Milkweed is the Monarch’s “host plant”, meaning it is the only one on which it lays its eggs. Monarch larvae will eat no other plant. No milkweed, no Monarch butterflies.
