In their larval stage monarch caterpillars feed almost exclusively on milkweed and as adults get their nutrients from the nectar of flowers. The monarch will always return to areas rich in milkweed to lay their eggs upon the plant. The milkweed they feed on as a caterpillar is actually a poisonous toxin and is stored in their bodies. This is what makes the monarch butterfly taste so terrible to predators.
Pitching from the stretch. Pitchers throw from the stretch position when there are runners on base. They turn parallel to the pitching rubber so they can face the base runner as a left handed pitcher, or turn to third base as a right-handed pitcher, with their back to the base runner.
1 The pitcher delivers a pitch while he is not facing the batter. 2  After pausing in the set position, the pitcher removes one hand from the ball or separates his hands without making a pitch or throw.  The pitcher drops the ball on the pitcher's mound while his foot is in contact with the pitching rubber.
