Butterflies pollinate
wild plants and our crops, ensuring
the production of seeds and fruits
required for the continued survival
of plants and animals, including humans.
Due to their fragility to ecological
change, butterflies are elegant indicators
of ecosystem health. Plus, Butterflies
are a valuable source of food for
songbirds.
There are over 17,000 species of
butterflies worldwide – 7,000
of which are in North America alone.
Butterflies weigh as little as 2 rose
petals, but they can fly worldwide.
But their habitats are being threatened
by deforestation and urban development.
Because of this, there are many species
that are beginning to become endangered
and die away completely.
Legend and mythology
also attribute certain mystical attributes
to the common butterfly. An Irish
blessing goes: "May the wings
of the butterfly kiss the sun, and
find your shoulder to light on to
bring you luck, happiness and riches
today, tomorrow and beyond."
Poets also have embraced the butterfly
as an inspiration to write.
A Butterfly Hovers Closely
A butterfly hovers
closely
And then quickly moves away,
Swiftly going where so ever
Her heart may freely say.
A butterfly lowers
and rises
With the wind’s gusty breath,
As if coupled within a dance
Of a loving tenderness.
The butterfly only
knows
How it feels to have wings,
To kiss the petals of flowers
In such elegant flitterings.
To have but one moment
Of such an exquisite flight,
Would be like a dream
Where all seems so right.

Brightly colored
butterflies can be a welcome addition
to your Backyard Wildlife Habitat
landscape. Butterfly gardening has
become one of the most popular hobbies
today. What could bring more joy than
a beautiful butterfly fluttering around
your garden?!
You don’t really need a special
garden to attract butterflies. If
there are plants in your garden that
appeal to them, butterflies will find
them.
A true butterfly garden should not
just be designed to attract adult
butterflies, but also to afford a
place for them to hibernate and lay
eggs and for the larva, or caterpillars,
to feed. Different species of butterflies
have different preferences in plants.
The flittering of the butterfly through
your garden is no accident if you
plan your garden carefully. The adult
butterfly flitters from flower to
flower - sipping nectar from many
flowers in your gardens, while other
adult butterflies search for areas
to lay their larvae.
By creating the atmosphere in the
garden that offers the shelter, food,
water and the fragrance the butterfly
is searching for you will have butterfly
garden success.
But how do you do that? Creating
a garden environment that will attract
butterflies is actually quite easy.
It just involves knowing a little
bit about what types of plants butterflies
like, how to maintain those plants,
and that’s about it!
Inside the pages of this book, you’ll
learn about those plants, how to cultivate
them for maximum attractiveness, and
make your garden a place where butterflies
can fly free. We’ll also give
you a guide to the various common
types of butterflies including pictures
and specifics so you can decide which
type of butterfly you want to see
when you are in your garden. The symbolism
and mythology of butterflies is also
deep in heritages, so we’ll
look a little bit at that as well.
It’s not as complicated as
you think it might be. Let’s
get started learning “How to
Attract Butterflies to Your Garden”.
