I once chased butterflies all over the place to try to get a picture. Now, I try to get them to come to me. The trick is to plant nectar producing flowers for the adults and to cultivate plants they will lay eggs on for their offspring. Butterfly bush works quite well for adult butterflies and moths. The adults also relish dandelions, Purple Coneflower and Gaillardia or blanket flower.
