** ARCHIVED POST – LINKS AND IMAGES MAY NOT WORK**
– By Anna Marie Blair
On Thursday, November 8, 2018, Lynne and Jim Weber joined us at the AgriLife building to present information from their new book, Native Host Plants for Texas Butterflies. We were shown many of our familiar (and not so familiar) Texas native plants alongside the butterflies that use those plants as hosts.
We were also given information on butterfly life cycles. Did you know that the older larva of the Yucca Giant Skipper will burrow into the root of yuccas? Now we are better able to identify what’s munching a plant and plan to entice those butterflies we want to attract.
We were also given a sneak peak on their new, similar project: moths. This will be a great project for a group of pollinators that are beautiful but less publicized!
You can find a handout from Lynne and Jim at this link.
