“Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high…”
Butterflies and moths are a valuable pollinator group in our world - from grasslands to forests and points in between. These fluttering creatures are highly sensitive indicators of the environment's health, in addition to playing a crucial role in pollinating our food and flowers.
Need help identifying butterflies in your own backyard? Take a look, it's in a book, umm, how about a handy website?
