Illinois State Insect:
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Illinois schoolchildren lobbied for the monarch butterfly and in 1975 it was officially designated the state insect of Illinois (a third grader from Decatur was the first to suggest the monarch as state insect). Both the caterpillar and adult monarch butterfly are brilliant in color as a warning to predators - the monarch ingests toxins from the milkweed plant which are poisonous.
