I saw one growing wild down the street about a block. We live in the boonies on five acres. The garlic chive where I found it is located in my butterfly area where I grow milkweed, rue and dill.

Is there one "great" book you would suggest to help identify cats and butterflys?

I have host plants for butterflys. I have nectar plants for them. However, I keep finding different chrysalis in odd places. For example: hanging off the edge of a plastic green planter or attached to the faded green area of the back door. Are there any tips or suggestions on making a safe spot for them to form into the chrysalis stage.

I get all kinds of butterflys through here and what I think are called skippers. Usually the first to arrive is this one that is yellow and black.
