a backyard. The National
Wildlife Federation recommends
attracting butterflies using
plants that serve the needs of all
their life stages. Butterflies
need a place to lay eggs, food
plants for the larvae (caterpil
lar), a place to form a chrysalis,
and nectar sources for the adult.
For example, to attract Zebra
swallowtails, plant several paw
paw tress.
Most adult butterflies live 20-
40 days. Some, however, are
believed to live no longer than
three to four days, while others
such as overwintering mon
archs, may live six months.
Adult butterflies searching
for nectar look for red, yellow,

They prefer flat topped or clus
tered blossoms with short flower
tubes. This allows the butter
flies to reach the nectar with
their probiscis. Nectar produc
ing plants should be grown in
open, sunny areas. Adults rarely
feed on plants in the shade.
Some caterpillars are picky
eaters, and rely on only one or
two species of plants. The cater
pillar of the giant swallowtail
butterfly feed on just one native
plant food—the northern
ash. Others, such as the red-'
spotted purple will feed on a
variety of deciduous trees.
Here is a list of the plants
that can attract butterflies:
Lilac, Red Clover, Phlox, Yarrow,
Honesty, Aubretia, Zinnia,
Cosmos, Butterfly bush, Joe-Pye
weed, Tickseed Sunflowers,
Goldenrods, Asters, Butterfly
weed, Liatris, Thistles,
Ceanothus species, Dogbanes
and Meadowsweet.
Butterfly Facts:
• Over 700 species of butter
flies are found in North America
but very few are agricultural

•Adult butterflies range in
size from the half-inch pigihy

wings—a group of butterflies
which includes the blues, hair
streaks and elfins—are capable
of producing weak sounds. By
flexing and rubbing together
body segment membranes,
sounds are generated which
may frighten off small predators
and parasites.
