For example<strong>, the Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus)<\/strong>\u00a0is<strong>\u00a0poisonous due to the toxic chemicals<\/strong>\u00a0it ingests from milkweed plants during its larval stage. Hence, butterflies have poisonous species.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fish:<\/strong>\u00a0There are<strong>\u00a0many species of fish that are poisonous<\/strong>. For example,\u00a0<strong>the Pufferfish (Tetraodontidae family)<\/strong>\u00a0contains tetrodotoxin, a potent neurotoxin. Hence, fish have poisonous species.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Frogs:<\/strong>\u00a0Certain species of frogs are\u00a0<strong>poisonous<\/strong>. The most notable are the<strong>\u00a0Poison Dart Frogs (Dendrobatidae family)<\/strong>, which have toxic skin secretions used by indigenous people to poison their blowgun darts.
