We decided on this particular organism due to the fact that we are
both interested in medical biology. We found the resistance to the
cardiac glycoside that the beetle had was incredible and wanted to
learn more! Please visit

Throughout our study and research of the Red Milkweed
Beetle, we learned a lot not only about the organism itself, but the
interactions it has with other organisms and how important they are
to the ecosystem. Even if this particular organism does not
interest some, we hope that one can take away from our website the
fact that no matter how small or unimportant an organism may seem,
they all indeed are an important part of life on Earth and the
interactions between things, living or not!
