I love chilli’s for this. They’ve developed spiciness to discourage getting eaten. We made an entire fucking menu out of it.

nicotine in plants are poisonous to people too, because it has high enough concentration, it developed as a defense against caterpillars, which some bugs have evolved resistance. another one is aristholcia, some species are so toxic that a different butterfly not adapted to it will die eating it, even if the caterpillar is adapted to another type of the flower.
