Bulletin #7151, Landscaping for #Butterflies in #Maine (PDF)

This fact sheet was developed by: Nancy Coverstone, Extension educator, Jim Dill, Extension pest management specialist, and Lois Berg Stack, Extension ornamental horticulture specialist.

Table of Contents:

- The Life Cycle of Butterflies
- Common Maine Butterflies
- How to Create Habitat that Entices Butterflies
- “Wild” Places Attract Butterflies
- #NativePlants Support Butterflies
- Design Tips for a Successful #ButterflyGarden
- Nectar Sources for Butterflies and Moths
- Larval Food Sources
- Further Readings

"Butterflies are beautiful insects, and they are also an important part of the ecosystem. In their search for nectar, they spread pollen from one flower to another and help ensure seed for new generations of plants. They also recycle nutrients and are prey for many species of birds, spiders and small mammals. Gardening and landscaping can create or enhance habitats for butterflies so they may survive and thrive. Whether your yard is in a city, suburb or rural community, you can make it a haven for butterflies.

Butterflies belong to the insect order Lepidoptera, along with moths and skippers. All species of butterflies in Maine, of which there are more than one hundred, have four wings covered with small scales. The butterfly families in Maine are #swallowtails (Papilionidae), whites and sulphurs (Pieridae), gossamer-wings (Lycaenidae), brush-footed butterflies (Nymphalidae), #monarchs (Danaidae), and arctics and satyrs (Satyridae), which includes the endangered #KatahdinArctic. Skippers (#Hesperiidae) have characteristics of both butterflies and moths.

When developing a landscape for butterflies, first consider butterfly species present in your area and their preferred habitats. Then consider plants suited to your climate and your backyard habitat. Assess what your landscape already provides, and add to that. Each butterfly species has a preference or need for a particular habitat type, such as meadow, woods, woodland edges or marshes. Also, some species are specialists, while others are generalists regarding food sources. The habitat preference as well as plants you provide will determine your success in attracting a particular butterfly species. An identification field guide will prove helpful."

First butterfly sighting of 2024!

An American Lady butterfly has been hanging out on my Pearly Everlasting plant. Pearly Everlasting is one of its host plants, so I'll be happy if eggs are laid there this year.

Pearly Everlasting has long-lasting white flowers and likes sunny and dry conditions.

The first photo is from today April 14, 2024.

The second picture is the same plant in August 2023.

#NativePlants #ButterflyGarden

@rewildingmag

Some good tips in the article. For a basic #ButterflyGarden last year, I ended up re-transplanting just about everything. There was a bit of a discrepancy between my design on paper, and the real world.

But I did know kind of instinctively to leave some lawn areas in place, to assure neighbors that it's a garden and not a weed patch. I was blessed with good neighbors, and don't want to start needless fusses.

#rewilding

We're missing the blooms that should still be present in our #ButterflyGarden already. The recent #HeatDome in the #MidWest that caused 100°+ weather killed it off. 😔

#HeatWave 🌡️We're going to be near 100° plus🔥temps for the next 12-14 days. I've stopped 🥵watering what's left of my #ButterflyGarden & the #SummerGarden 😞 Hope the 🦋#Monarchs find their way on their 🦋migrations. I'll leave food and water out for 🦋them here in #Kansas

The last of our #ButterflyGarden wildflowers.
Everything else burnt up in the high heat. Next year's garden will be milkweed and wildflowers only. Even our catnip did poorly. #SummerGarden #Kansas
