European skipper adults aggregate on common milkweed and their legs and (or) proboscis often become entangled in the flowers. Occasionally this results in the loss of legs or in the death of the insect. Normally the insects escape unharmed and frequently carry with them milkweed pollinia, attached to the extremity of their tarsi. Thus the European skipper, an insect pest, may act as a pollinating agent of a weed pest, the common milkweed.

This summary of biological data is for common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca L.), as a weed in Canada, particularly in eastern Canada. Weedy populations of this perennial occur in great abundance in southern Ontario and Quebec. It belongs to association of plants of roadsides, waste lands and river basins. Recently, this weed has spread into cultivated lands, especially cereals, row crops and forage crops.
