Other Things to Consider
If you are interested in satisfying the full needs of butterflies, consider planting some of the food and breeding area plants listed under “Caterpillar Food”. Also, consider becoming more involved in your local garden clubs and in entomological and butterfly organizations. Check with these groups and with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks for information about checklists, identification guides and other organization that specialize in butterflies and butterfly gardening.
