Did you know that all your favorite butterflies need host plants? Whether they are
swallowtails, anglewings, painted ladies, red admirals, yellow sulphurs or monarchs,
you can help butterflies by planting what the females are seeking. You can learn more
about our East Tennessee butterflies on this Zoom program Thursday, October 12 at
7pm. by joining UT Arboretum Education Coordinator, Michelle Campanis and local
author and naturalist Stephen Lyn Bales. “Our local butterflies hunt for nectar from a
wide array of flowering plants but the females of each species seek out specific host
plants to lay their eggs,” explains Bales.

The program is free, but registration is required to receive your Zoom link and the recording.
Closed captions are available.  Register at www.utarboretumsociety.org Please contact
Michelle at mcampani@utk.edu for any questions or registration issues.
