Butterfly Information

We are still working on a butterfly information guide.  If you are at our garden site, you can find some information by looking at our kiosk which has photos of butterflies, caterpillars, and their host plants.  You can also look up a plant identified in the garden by using the Native Plant Database on the Home page.  The database lists host plants and their butterflies.  It also identifies plants that are especially attractive as food sources to various insects, including butterflies, moths, bees, etc.

Below are some links to online informational sites to help you identify a butterfly and learn more about it.  To return to this page, close the window:
