  2. Problem and solution • Most adult butterflies live 10-20 days • build in new stuff • incorporating plants that serve the needs of all life stages of the butterfly • start with some serious research to learn which kinds of butterflies are native to our region

  3. Build-in-attract what butterfly • Clover plant-clouded and cloudless sulpher, eastern tailed blue,gray hairstreak,little yellow,sleepy orange,western tailed blue • apple plant-cloudless sulpher,spring azure,viceroy • plan we will write it out

  4. Plants That Attract Butterflies • Adults searching for nectar are attracted to: • * Red, yellow, orange, pink or purple blossoms • * Flat-topped or clustered flowers • * Short flower tubes (allow the butterflies to reach the nectar with their proboscis) • Many caterpillars are picky eaters. They rely on only one or two species of plants.

  5. Butterfly Garden possible measures/action: • Plant native flowering plants - Dense "clusters" of small flowers such as zinnias, marigolds, tithonia, buddleia, milkweeds, verbenas and many mint family plants generally work well. Because many butterflies and native flowering plants have co-evolved over time and depend on each other for survival and reproduction. Native plants provide butterflies with the nectar or foliage they need as caterpillars and adults. Adult butterflies may accidentally mistake a non-native, invasive plant for a good egg-laying site, which could prevent the survival of its offspring. Grow your nectar-producing native plants in sunny areas that are protected from strong winds.

  6. Butterfly Garden possible measures/action: • Plant type and color is important – Adult butterflies are attracted to red, yellow, orange, pink and purple blossoms that are flat-topped or clustered, and have short flower tubes. • Plant good nectar sources in the sun - Your key butterfly nectar source plants should receive full sun from mid-morning to mid-afternoon. Butterfly adults generally feed only in the sun. If sun is limited in your landscape, try adding butterfly nectar sources to the vegetable garden.

  7. Butterfly Garden possible measures/action: • Plant for continuous bloom - Butterflies need nectar throughout the adult phase of their life span. Try to plant so that when one plant stops blooming, another begins. • Say no to insecticides! - Insecticides such as malathion, Sevin, and diazinon are marketed to kill insects. Don't use these materials in or near the butterfly garden or better, anywhere on your property. Even "benign" insecticides, such as Bacillus thuringiensis, are lethal to butterflies (while caterpillars).

  8. Butterfly Garden possible measures/action: • Feed butterfly caterpillars. - If you don't "grow" caterpillars, there will be no adults. Bringing caterpillar foods into your garden can greatly increase your chances of attracting unusual and uncommon butterflies, while giving you yet another reason to plant an increasing variety of native plants. In many cases, caterpillars of a species feed on only a very limited variety of plants. Most butterfly caterpillars never cause the leaf damage we associate with some moth caterpillars such as bagworms, tent caterpillars, or gypsy moths.

  9. Butterfly Garden possible measures/action: • Provide a place for butterflies to rest – Butterflies need sun for orientation and to warm their wings for flight. Place flat stones in your garden to provide space for butterflies to rest and bask in the sun. • Give them a place for puddling – Butterflies often congregate on wet sand and mud to partake in "puddling," drinking water and extracting minerals from damp puddles. Place coarse sand in a shallow pan and then insert the pan in the soil of your habitat. Make sure to keep the sand moist.
