Native Butterfly Gardening There are several levels of butterfly gardening depending on whether you want to just attract a few or provide a habitat inviting several varieties to move in lock, stock, and chrysalis. You can start by planting a few nectar plants or providing other lures to attract the butterflies in your area. You may find that you're satisfied or that you're so enchanted by your fluttering visitors that you want to do more. Butterfly habitat necessities Adult food sources In the garden, these are most often plants that provide nectar for adult butterflies. Most butterflies aren't very picky and will feed from a variety of flowering plants, though they may have a favorite or two. Other food sources include fermenting fruit, manure, carrion, and mud. Host plants Plants that provide a site for the butterfly to lay eggs and a food source for the emerging caterpillar. Be prepared for heavy munching on host plants Shelter Woody plants located near the nectar plants will provide butterflies with shelter during bad weather and at night. Water Butterflies can't drink from open water. They prefer very wet sand or soil.

Many people are taking a personal interest in attracting these fascinating insects to their gardens. By choosing the right plants, you can attract many different butterflies, adding a moveable mural of color to your landscape. Butterflies and moths belong to the insect order Lepidoptera.

Huegel, and Frank J. Mazzotti Background Few outdoor activities are more rewarding and easily available than attracting butterflies to a well-designed butterfly garden. Creating a butterfly garden can be as simple as planting a windowsill box or as complex as landscaping many acres. To be successful in any situation, however, requires the correct choice of plants. The total butterfly garden takes into account the food preferences of both adult butterflies and their caterpillars. Many butterfly species will drink nectar from a variety of flowering plants, but their caterpillars often are greatly limited in the number of plants on which they can feed. It is not necessary to plant larval food plants to attract butterflies, but adults tend to stay fairly close to the areas where their larval food plants can be found. All of this requires planning. There are a few basic rules to follow. You can be as creative as you wish, but you must start with a plan that considers the requirements of the butterflies you wish to attract and the plants you will use to lure them.

Exhibition Highlights Butterfly Cams Ticket Info FAQ Grow A Butterfly Garden Downloadable Backgrounds A butterfly garden, large or small, can attract butterflies to your back yard. Here are some tips for creating your own garden: Sunny gardens attract the most butterflies, so plant in the brightest part of your garden. Some important details to consider are sunny spots for basking, shelter from wind and rain and sources of fresh water. Mud or sand puddles are used by adult male butterflies to obtain essential salts, needed for reproduction. Nectar plants provide food for a variety of adult butterflies, while different host plants, which supply caterpillars with food, attract specific species. Keep in mind that nectar plants may also serve as host plants to some species. You may want to include both in your garden. Most caterpillars feed only on specific types of host plants, so female adult butterflies deposit their eggs only on those plants their offspring will eat. By including host plants in your garden, you could witness the entire life cycle of the butterfly. Choose plants that will bloom at different times throughout the season. Try experimenting with a variety of plants that appeal to different butterfly species.

35. Butterfly Campaign the planting of caterpillar host plants defines true butterfly gardening. butterfly gardening is the only way to accomplish the goals of this campaign. http://www.butterflyworld.com/campaign.html

BRING BACK THE BUTTERFLIES CAMPAIGN Butterfly World's BRING BACK THE BUTTERFLIES campaign is a North American effort to help people bring large numbers of butterflies back to our landscape. It is a call for people across the Continental United States and Canada to build a small garden in an effort to reverse the ongoing destruction of butterfly habitat in their local area. REGIONAL GARDEN GUIDEBOOK Oregon, Washington, southern British Columbia Arizona, California, Nevada Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, southern Alberta, southern Saskatchewan, southwest Manitoba New Mexico, Texas ... Southernmost Florida CAMPAIGN BACKGROUND Dwindling butterfly populations are due to habitat destruction in both urban and rural areas. This is caused by construction, pesticides in farming, forest spraying for Gypsy moths, and mosquito spraying programs that are using new, powerful chemicals. Many of these chemicals are now distributed by airplane, blanketing entire areas. Everyday we hear the question, "How can we bring the butterflies back?". At Butterfly World, our research shows that planting the host plants for butterfly caterpillars is the most effective solution, a great deal more effective than planting nectar sources for adult butterflies. These host plants are the plants the caterpillars eat, and in most cases these plants are specific to each butterfly species. Fortunately, both male and female butterflies seem to be able to find these plants from long distances. Female butterflies search for them because it is there that they must lay their eggs, and male butterflies seem to find them because of the presence of females.

On this page you will find tips and suggestions on attracting these lovely creatures to your garden. "To make a wish come true, whisper it to a butterfly. Upon these wings it will be taken to heaven and granted. For they are the messengers of the Great Spirit." ~ Native American Legend ~ Requirements 1. Good Placement. Butterflies are cold blooded creatures and need the sun to warm their wings. For this reason, they prefer a sunny site that is protected from the wind . Large plants and shrubs around the perimeter of a garden will help to provide this protection. A large flat rock in a garden provides a warm spot for basking. They may frequently be seen just sitting on the rock, with their wings spread, soaking up the sun's rays. 2. Nectar Source.

M o n a r c h W a t c h Butterfly Gardening BUTTERFLY GARDENING Introduction Creating a Garden A Teacher's Guide ... Order Site by JpL Updated 22-JUN-00 Introduction Scientists, environmentalists, and politicians have brought habitat destruction and the cost that has for wildlife to the attention of people around the world. In response, many people have begun work to preserve the natural areas that still exist and to restore other areas that once served as home to wild animals and plants. Schools can also take part in this preservation and restoration movement by making their yards more friendly to wildlife. A beautiful and fun way to do that is to plant a butterfly garden. For people, like you, who are interested in monarchs, a butterfly garden is an easy way both to see more monarchs and to contribute towards their conservation. And if you plant a garden, you'll be able to watch not only monarchs but also many other butterfly species right in your backyard. A butterfly gardener reaps many rewards. People usually enjoy the same colorful flowers butterflies prefer, so a butterfly garden can win compliments from you and your neighbors. If you plant a butterfly garden where there used to be lawn, there is also less grass to mow, which means less work with the lawn mower as well as less air and noise pollution if your mower runs on gas. Butterflies like lots of different plants, so creating a garden adds biological diversity to your yard. Diversity can reduce populations of pest insects by making it harder for them to find their host plants. Butterflies also often like native plants. Including those species in your garden usually means less maintenance, since those plants are used to the natural weather conditions in your area. Butterflies themselves are an important part of the ecosystem, and can pollinate many plants.
