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.
I get this question a lot, âthe pitching windup vs stretch, what is better?â The problem is the windup is almost sacred to the game of baseball but it really has no purpose besides a kind of confidence builder on the mental state of the pitcher.
