State Butterfly Quick Reference
Do you have a State Butterfly?
If you are wondering what kind of butterflies are more likely to be attracted to your garden, this quick reference may help you if your state is listed.
FYI, two butterflies found throughout all of the United States and are non-invasive are the Monarch and Painted Lady Butterfly.
Although my state, Ohio, does not have a butterfly, we do have a state insect - the ladybug. We got plenty of them to!

They dine on a lot of insects that are destructive pests, like Aphids. |
