Mississippi’s Hummingbird Migration | Our Mississippi Home
SUMMARY: A writer in Mississippi enjoyed watching two hummingbirds compete for nectar in their yard. The writer was amazed by the abilities of hummingbirds, such as their fast heart rate and speed. Hummingbirds can hover like helicopters and their wings beat over 50 times per second, creating the humming noise they are named for. Despite their small size, hummingbirds consume a large amount of nectar and insects each day. The ruby-throated hummingbirds seen in Mississippi migrate to Mexico and Central America during winter. The writer mentioned an upcoming Hummingbird Festival in 2023 where attendees can learn more about the birds and witness their banding and release.

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.
