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.
