Today over 90% of the 40 largest overwintering sites for the monarch
butterfly (a butterfly native to North America) along the California
coast occur in ornamental/agricultural plantings of exotic eucalyptus
trees. 

Good thing for the monarch that plant bigotry was not in vogue in the
late 1800's when these trees were imported from Australia.
