monarchs with ophryocystis elektroscirrha (Oe)seem to choose milkweed plants with higher levels of cardenolides on which to lay their eggs which allows their offspring to live longer. Unfortunately, this doesn't cure the offspring nor does it prevent the spread of Oe, and in some cases might foster more spread because it reduces spore load on a butterfly that would otherwise die or be unable to fly. This leads to that butterfly spreading the parasites to its offspring. So don't be fooled into thinking that non-native tropical milkweed is ok to grow in your habitat. <a
