According to an internet search, there is no butterfly that is so poisonous that it would kill a human. There are butterflies that are extremely distasteful to birds and other such predators due to the larva's consumption of poisonous plants. The Monarch butterfly is a well-known example of that. The larva eat milkweed.

No Butterflies are not poisonous to humans but can be poisonous to their natural predators. The Monarch Butterfly is the most common "poisonous" butterfly. While still in the larval stage they feed off the milkweed plant, causing them to become toxic. There are several different butterflies that do this.

Butterflies do not have poison on their wings. However, the monarch butterfly is poisonous to whatever might eat it. This is because of the milkweed they eat in the larvae stage which build up inside of them.

There are many poison butterflies. All the big and small moths and the fully grown butterflies. The small butterflies are absolutely harmless.

Anything that leads to survival and reproductive success is, generally, an intrinsic adaption.
