What are the enemies of the monarch butterfly? The biggest threat to the monarch butterfly are wasps, bees, frogs, and especially people. Insects like to eat the eggs of monarch butterflies.
Milkweed is the only plant material that Monarch caterpillars can eat. Remove Monarch caterpillars from milkweed and they will starve; or they will eat other plant material, sicken, and then die. The scientific name for milkweed is Asclepias (pronounced as-KLEE-pea-us).
