Damselflies – Ancient Dainty Flyers
SUMMARY: Dragonflies and damselflies are both part of the Odonata order of insects. Dragonflies are larger and have uneven wings, while damselflies are smaller with even wings. Both insects are ancient and have been around for over 200 million years. Damselflies are important predators and spend most of their life in water as nymphs before emerging as adults. They mate by the male grabbing the female, and the female directs him to a suitable location to lay her eggs. Damselflies are prey for other insects and play a role in the food chain. They can be found near wet areas and are interesting to watch.

Butterflies and Their Host Plants – Making the Connection
SUMMARY: Caterpillars, the juvenile stage of butterflies, are often overlooked and sometimes disliked for chewing on plants. However, most caterpillars do minimal harm to their host plants. While Monarch caterpillars and Tomato Horn Worms can cause damage, the caterpillars of common butterflies have a limited impact. Understanding the connection between butterflies and their caterpillar's host plants can help you appreciate the diverse range of plants that support their lifecycle. By choosing host plants, you can support both adults and their young. Additionally, trees, shrubs, vines, and flowers also serve as food sources for caterpillars. Making these connections can enhance the joy of butterfly-watching and inspire you to incorporate host plants into your landscape.
