If you want more butterflies, you have to welcome a few caterpillars too 🦋 A few garden notes I love:
🐛 Chewed leaves can be a good sign
🌿 Monarch caterpillars need milkweed
🌱 Swallowtails often love herbs like dill, parsley, and fennel
🌼 Native plants usually support more local butterflies
💧 Skip harsh sprays when you can
A butterfly-friendly garden is really about feeding them through every stage, not just when they have wings.
