Spinosad is a natural insecticide. Spinosad is a relatively new insecticide that is made up of two complex organic compounds, spinosyn A (right) and spinosyn D. These compounds are produced by certain microbes that were first discovered in soil found at an abandoned rum factory. Spinosad is a broad-spectrum, organic insecticide. The term broad-spectrum means that it is toxic to a wide variety of insects. It is, however, relatively non-toxic to mammals and beneficial insects. If used carefully only insects that actually eat something that has been treated, such as a leaf, are affected.
Milkweed species with whorled, narrow leaves are typically more toxic than species with broad leaves. Labriform milkweed (Asclepias labriformis), the most toxic milkweed, grows naturally in portions of USDA zones 4 to 8.umans can eat milkweed, but its toxicity depends on its species, age, how it is prepared and how much is eaten. Milkweed is the plant choice of monarch butterflies, and milkweed can be planted to attract monarchs.
