Native butterflies and moths lay their eggs on host plants. Why have they adapted to certain plants, and which native plants host the most variety of caterpillars? In this presentation you will discover why it is critical to plant the appropriate plants for these insects, and how these caterpillars support native birds.
You will also get an overview of what Wild Ones National and Wild Ones of Jo Daviess County can help you in your native plant journey.
This event is during the village of Elizabeth's Harvest Fest. Please plan accordingly.
