单词 milkweed
释义
milkweedmilk‧weed /ˈmɪlkwiːd/ noun [uncountable] Examples
EXAMPLES FROM THE CORPUS
  • As protection against herbivores such as caterpillars, the milkweed produces chemical deterrents on its leaves.
  • For the monarchs, Mr Harris brought down from Atlanta a special tall-growing variety of milkweed I had never seen before.
  • In defending itself so thoroughly against the monarch, the milkweed became inseparable from the butterfly.
  • Since most other animals avoid milkweed, the monarch caterpillars usually have the leaves all to themselves.
  • The caterpillars of the monarch butterfly, surprisingly, are able to feed on milkweed without taking any of these precautions.
  • The females lay their eggs on milkweed and the caterpillars feed on these plants until they pupate, prior to emerging as butterflies.
  • They obtain their unpleasant flavour from the milkweed plant.
