In numerous gardens, there’s lodging for the canine, the feathered friends, and now you can establish one for butterflies. A butterfly dwelling is a sheltered wooden framework featuring narrow openings at the front, crafted to emulate a tree. This entices the insects to gather around the abode. These structures vary in shapes and sizes. Many butterflies utilize it as a venue for mating, feeding, or seeking refuge from predators and adverse weather conditions. Create your personalized butterfly dwelling to entice one of the nearly 17,000 species to your garden and revel in their delightful presence.
