A trip to Disney world doesn't compare to the magical feeling you get when you raise up a caterpillar and then release it as a butterfly lol. Nothing Beats that experience!! I'm hooked lol I'll be raising butterflies for the rest of my life lol! GOD bless yall!
AWESOME! Thank you for helping the butterflies! 😀 🪴
Oh I agree! I have passion vine (native)These have been here for years. I’ve let an area go all native. The vine has literally taken over. I have wild potato vine that is a host plant too. We have eastern tiger swallowtails. I’m not sure about the host plant for them but I’ve got them everywhere.
Thank you so much for the video. !!!! Just what a was asking for. !!!! God bless you guys. !!!!!
You are most welcome! We are so glad you enjoyed it.😀🪴
I love this video I raise monarchs and have tons of milk weed
That is so good to hear! Monarchs are such beautiful butterflies. 😀🪴
Fantastic channel. I found you Friday and I'm an intermediate-level gardener and I'm still getting a lot out of this channel. Please consider investing in the mics that clip on your clothes. The audio will be a lot crisper and the RUclips algorithm will start to favor you more and put you in the"recommend" for more viewers.
Thank you so much for the nice comment and for the feedback! I am so sorry about the sound quality. I have had others say the same about sound, so am trying out new mics all the time. I am now on my 3rd wireless mic.(Rode wireless GO2). And while this one is better, I think I need to try another that helps cut out background noise. Sound is so important. Again, thank you so much for feedback.😀🪴
I have used your videos as a guide for South Florida. I am a fish keeping enthusiast and am in the process of building (planning) a large pond on the South side of my home.
I recently left the Miami Area. I'm now in rural Lee County outside of Fort Myers. I have a whole host of critters like frogs, birds and butterflies. I have a clean palette to start with (new Home) so I have been learning and building my landscape with native plants.
The only native plant I have found for my pond so far is the Fire Flag (Thalia geniculata) a marginal plant which native to north Florida. Can you suggest other aquatic and bog plants to complement the environment?
Hi ! Here are some Florida native aquatics for consideration: Pickerel Weed (Pontederia cordata) Water lilies (Nymphaea spp.) native Golden canna (Canna flaccida) Blue flag Iris( Iris Virginia) and some native land plants for the pond's edge: spartina, gamma grass, fackahatchee grass and muhly grass. Hope this helps. 😀 🪴

The Atala is clearly the most beautiful species in both larval and adult form.
They seem to prefer a bit of salt in the air and will nectar on Saw Palmetto and Bidens pilosa
Thank you for that info ! 😀🪴
