    Extractions: Butterfly Gardening Welcome to my website where you can find information obtained from my garden located in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA (a suburb of Washington, D.C.). I hope you find it useful. If you're interested in watching butterflies, I strongly recommend creating a butterfly garden. During my first year of butterfly gardening (1993), I saw 14 butterfly species in the garden. Since then, I have added many plants to attract butterflies. In 2000, I observed 40 butterfly species (out of a total of 50 seen in the garden since 1993). Creating a butterfly garden also attracts other plants and animals. You don't need to live in the country or next to a natural area to attract butterflies. Small suburban lots with mowed-grass lawns and a few trees and shrubs surround my garden. Rock Creek National Park is about a half-mile away. Eric Raun If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, please contact me at raueri@juno.com

    Extractions: BU-06711 Reviewed 1998 To Order Creating a Butterfly Garden From Butterfly Gardening by Vera Krischik Butterfly gardening involves planning your garden to attract, retain, and encourage butterfly populations. A sample garden plan is shown in Figure 1, and a list of host plants is given in Table 3 and Table 4 . Flowers of similar colors grouped together are more attractive to both butterflies and the gardener. You should select a variety of nectar-producing plants with the aim of providing flowers in bloom throughout the season. This will entice a continuous succession of new visitors to a yard. It is especially important to have flowers in mid to late summer, when most butterflies are active. Flowers with multiple florets that produce abundant nectar are ideal. Annuals are wonderful butterfly plants because they bloom continuously through the season, providing a steady supply of nectar. Perennial plants, such as coneflowers, lilac, butterfly weed, and asters, are visited regularly by butterflies. Most plants in the mint family are also good nectar sources for butterflies. Avoid double flowers because they are often bred for showiness, not nectar production. For successful butterfly gardening, you need to provide food for more than the adult butterflies. You need to provide for their caterpillar forms as well. Butterfly caterpillars have a limited host range (See

By following a few simple steps, you can attract these flying beauties to your garden. WHY DO BUTTERFLIES VISIT A GARDEN? Butterflies are looking for two things when they enter a garden: nectar , the food that adult butterflies need, and host plants , the place where the female will lay her eggs and the food that caterpillars need. Both are necessary to create a successful butterfly garden. NECTAR PLANT FACTORS Nectar plants These are plants with flowers that produce the sweet fluid that many insects, including butterflies, use as food. Flower colors Many of our native butterflies prefer plants that have pink, red, purple, yellow or orange flowers. Butterflies appear to be attracted to areas with large masses of a single color, or closely related colors, rather than gardens with many colors mixed together. Flower types Most butterflies must land in order to get to the nectar. They prefer plants having either clusters of short tubular flowers, or flowers with large, flat petals.

Or watch dragonflies hover by your garden pond, while iridescent blues flutter on its sandy edge? Maybe you'd like to observe an Anise Swallowtail as it grows from a tiny egg to a fat caterpillar in your fennel patch, and see its magical transformation into a chrysalis and then a butterfly with yellow and black wings. By creating a haven for butterflies in your yard, you can greatly enhance your chances of attracting many colorful visitors like tiger swallowtails and admirals. This can be as simple as adding marigolds and zinnias to a sunny flower bed, or as extensive as replacing the lawn with a wildflower meadow and establishing a backyard wildlife sanctuary. Butterflies, birds, and other wild creatures need the shelter provided by a variety of trees and shrubs. This “wild and fuzzy” style is easier on you and the environment, while creating habitat for an intriguing array of

Contributors to this volume include Miriam Rothschild, an eminent entomologist, avid butterfly gardener, and expert in wildflower conservation, who describes the life cycle of butterflies, how and what they see, and how this relates to "gardening with butterflies." Landscape architect Mary Booth provides imaginative garden designs and easy-to-follow directions for designing and planting. Edward S. Ross, pioneer of close-up nature photography, discusses observing and photographing butterflies.

    Extractions: 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 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.
