What a meaningful article! Can imagine the thrill of seeing some of those rare species. I am inspired to find out about host plants. And, yes climate fatigue, feels very real. Good to remember to treat it with some constructive action. Thanks Pam!
Thank you for this. I am so encouraged by their suggestions that anyone can start doing, even with a balcony or postage stamp sized yard! I am reading "Nature's Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation That Starts in Your Yard" by Douglas W. Tallamy which gives many ideas of things we can do. I never knew hosting all kinds of caterpillars, bees, and other insects was so important!
Yes, we are talking about mowing less of the grass part of our yard. And I may plant a few more host plants too. Thanks for reading and thanks for speaking up here in the comments!
I love butterflies! Great article. As always, informative and engaging- we have lots in our yard
I would love to come and see your Miami butterflies. Take some pictures for me when you can. Thanks for reading and thanks for sharing a comment.

Love this! I'm particularly excited to learn about specific plants that are hosts to specific butterflies!
Yes, that was new news to me me too. Now, we know what we can plant to attract a certain butterfly. Thanks for your comment.
