Flirting with Fragrance
Eastern tiger swallowtails are generally found on the East Coast, but you can spot them as far west as Colorado. Their larvae love the leaves of trees and shrubs such as cottonwood, sweet bay, and cherry, and adults are attracted to yarrow and hollyhock. Here it is stopping in to drink from a verbena.
Colorful Caller
This is a clouded sulphur butterfly. Look for clouded sulphurs in groups among clover and alfalfa fields, and even around mud puddles. In addition to clover or alfalfa, try planting tall verbena or leaving a few dandelions to invite these pretty friends over for a meal
