This is an introduction to the behaviors of some backyard butterflies common to southern California, what flowers they like, their host plants or food plants, and other interesting details about these fascinating creatures.
It is part of a series on attracting butterflies to our native gardens by planting butterfly host plants -- plants that attract female butterflies to lay eggs on them and support the caterpillars when they hatch. In most cases these are native plants.
You will see these butterflies: Cloudless Sulphur, Grey Hairstreak, Gulf Fritillary, Giant Swallowtail, Monarch, Mournful Duskywing, Mourning Cloak, Painted Lady, and Skippers,
Butterfly behaviors discussed include: migration, nectaring, sunning, sheltering, puddling, perching, patrolling, driving off competitors, mating, laying eggs, caterpillars, chrysalis, pupate, and adult stage.
Native plants & exotics include California buckwheat, California coast sunflower, Cleveland sage, globe gilia, globemallow, grasses, legumes, oaks, thistles, willow, and yarrow, plus asclepias (milkweed), cassia/senna, citrus, lantana, passion vine, Pride of Madeira, and verbena.
