    Butterfly Gardening
    (Extension, 2020) Krischik, Vera
    Butterfly gardening retrofits landscapes with nectar and larval host plants for butterflies. Good butterfly habitat provides plants for all life stages: host plant leaves (for egg laying and caterpillar food), flower nectar (food for adult butterflies) and protected areas (to mate, feed, pupate, rest, overwinter and hide from predation). Development, commercial agriculture, pesticide use, and climate change is destroying natural wildlife habitat. Wherever possible, we need to encourage habitat restoration to maintain butterfly populations.
