"If you plant it, they will come"- by Cynthia Hedin

Taking the idea from Field of Dreams and Kevin Costner's "If you build it, they will come," you will learn which plants attract and are necessary for some of our more common lepidoptera such as monarch butterflies, black swallowtails and others. For example, without milkweed, we would not have monarchs, and black swallowtails need plants in the carrot family (Apiaceae). The butterfly life cycle will be illustrated and explained, preferred/requisite plants and their cultivation illustrated and discussed.
