There is a wide variety of both butterfly attracting (nectar) plants and host plants covering climate zones throughout the country. Butterfly gardens can range in size from a few containers placed in a sunny spot to several acres. Nectar-producing plants will attract butterflies to your garden. In order to support a full butterfly lifecycle, host plants (for laying eggs and use as a caterpillar food source) must also be present.

B utterflies Of all the insects, none elicit pleasure and curiosity more readily than butterflies. Like the abundance of verdant mountains and beaches, butterflies are ever present during one's visit to Costa Rica. There is nowhere one goes, whether a 3,000 meter volcanic summit or the arid plains of Guanacaste where butterflies are not present. Costa Rica is unusually blessed by the diversity of it's butterflies. There exists about 20,000 butterfly species worldwide. Of these, about 1,000 or 5% can be found in Costa Rica. An Outline of Butterfly Physiology Butterflies are insects. By definition, all insects posses six legs and three body segments: head, thorax and abdomen. The three most salient features of the head are the antennae, the eyes and the proboscis. The antennae are used for balance in flight and olfactory sensation. Butterflies possess fragile wings. The wings can wear easily through normal use. They can also be badly damaged by predators which when attacking the butterfly grab only the wing rather than the body. Despite the loss of even the majority of their wing surface area, a butterfly will continue to be able to fly and navigate. They can do this because of the sense of balance afforded them by their antennae. The antennae are also useful for smell. Female butterflies release pheromones (like a perfume) into the air. The male butterflies of many species can detect the pheromones from as far away as 2 kilometers (over a mile). Depending on the concentration of the pheromones, the male will be able to find the female to mate with her. It's worth noting that some species of moths are sensitive to the presence of the females' pheromones up to five kilometers (about three miles) distant.

Like all insects, they have six jointed legs, 3 body parts, a pair of antennae, compound eyes, and an exoskeleton. The three body parts are the head, thorax (the chest), and abdomen (the tail end). The butterfly's body is covered by tiny sensory hairs. The four wings and the six legs of the butterfly are attached to the thorax. The thorax contains the muscles that make the legs and wings move.

Butterflies and caterpillars are attracted to specific plants. I have learned what makes stuff grow, and what butterflies are attracted to which flower, and what the host plant for their catarpillars are. I don't beleive in keeping butterflies "captive". I beleive that "IF YOU PLANT IT, THEY WILL COME", and if you provide for their caterpillars, they will stay. My butterfly garden (& yard) were recently certified a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. It is recognized as a place where wildlife may find quality habitat - food, water, cover, and places to raise their young.

40. Butterflies An introduction to butterflies found in typical North American backyards R obert M. Pyle's National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American butterflies informs us http://www.backyardnature.net/buttrfly.htm

R obert M. Pyle's National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Butterflies informs us that about 700 butterfly species occur in North America north of Mexico. The guide illustrates 600 of those, and has notes on 70 others. Therefore, the number of butterfly species in North America north of Mexico is almost the same as the number of bird species, so, theoretically, butterfly watching should be approximately equivalent to bird watching. In reality, the difference in size between birds and butterflies, and the butterflies' less complex behavior (no songs or tail-wagging to help us identify them), makes butterfly watching more challenging than birding, and less exact. In fact, Pyle says that distinguishing certain groups of look-alike butterflies, such as some checkerspots, green hairstreaks, and skippers, can confound even the experts. Certain species can only be determined by dissection. Therefore, with butterflies, sometimes identifying to genus level is the best we can do. In this matter, butterflying is different from birding, for birders generally believe that if they see any bird well enough and hear its song, they can figure out exactly which species it is. BUTTERFLY WATCHING If you quietly sneak up to a butterfly on a flower, you can watch it thrusting it long, slender, coiled proboscis into the flower to suck up sweet nectar. You can see a typical butterfly proboscis at the top of our
