- Butterflies like warmth and need light to see. Provide an open, sunny location for them.

- Don't use pesticides. They can kill caterpillars or mature butterflies.
- Build a puddling area in a recessed container. Mix half sand and half composted manure, and water thoroughly.
- You don't need to invest in a butterfly house: Butterflies take shelter in under leaves, tall grass, or other natural spots.
