Our first Viceroy. Eggs laid on and raised on Black Willow. They also use Cottonwood and Aspen trees as host plants. Looking very similar to monarchs, they developed this color pattern to protect themselves from prey. #TheNectarBar #PlantNative #NativeHostPlants #HostPlantsForButterflies #PeaceLoveAndButterflies #Butterflies #NativePlants #Nature #TheNecatarBar #HealthyEcosystem #NativesForWildlife #NativesAreImportant #PocketPrairie #NativePocketPrairie #NativeGrasslands #EcoregionsMatter #NativePlantHike #LearningNatives #LearningNativePlants #WaterSaver #WatershedWiseSA https://www.instagram.com/p/CT_K2pkMrxs/?utm_medium=tumblr

Viceroy caterpillar has officially pupated. The host plant is Black Willow trees. Which are also host plant to Mourning Cloak, Red-spotted Purple, and Tiger Swallowtail. So four different butterflies use it. Black Willow (Salix nigra) is a wonderful Texas native tree. #TheNectarBar #PlantNative #NativeHostPlants #HostPlantsForButterflies #PeaceLoveAndButterflies #Butterflies #NativePlants #Nature #TheNecatarBar #HealthyEcosystem #NativesForWildlife #NativesAreImportant #PocketPrairie #NativePocketPrairie #NativeGrasslands #EcoregionsMatter #NativePlantHike #LearningNatives #LearningNativePlants #WaterSaver #WatershedWiseSA https://www.instagram.com/p/CTkYxqds_Ky/?utm_medium=tumblr

Goatweed leafwings have emerged and been released. These are just stunning! Their beauty completely captivates you. Want to attract these to your habitat? Their host plants are croton. The one in my habitat is woolly croton. #TheNectarBar #PlantNative #NativeHostPlants #HostPlantsForButterflies #PeaceLoveAndButterflies #Butterflies #NativePlants #Nature #TheNecatarBar #HealthyEcosystem #NativesForWildlife #NativesAreImportant #PocketPrairie #NativePocketPrairie #NativeGrasslands #EcoregionsMatter #NativePlantHike #LearningNatives #LearningNativePlants #WaterSaver #WatershedWiseSA https://www.instagram.com/p/CSGCzdBs83H/?utm_medium=tumblr
