The Butterfly Net: Lepidoptera Conservation Tool

The Butterfly Net will list the best native plant species to use, ranked based on their value as host and nectar plants for native Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) in this ecoregion and habitat type, as well as their ability to connect habitats across the landscape. By using these plants in your yard, garden, and other habitat projects, you will help protect butterflies, moths, and the important services they provide.
