Plant the native species and plant several if the plants are small. Some butterflies also exhibit local host plant preferences depending upon plant availability and habitat.įemale butterflies can travel for miles in search of host plants to lay their eggs upon. There are additional larval host plants for many of the butterflies listed, especially the species which feed on many plant families. Some of these plants are highly invasive and should never be cultivated. Many butterfly species have adapted to feed upon non-native plants if the plants are in the same family as the native larval host. Some of them are found throughout the state and others occur locally in connection with the larval host plants.
