Butterflies of the Verde Valley

Synopsis of Presentation – Butterflies of the Verde Valley

Arizona is home to 334 butterfly species, second only to Texas.  In the Verde Valley, we now have the possibility to see half of those species, due to our varied habitats throughout the region.  That number continues to grow; in 2023 alone, two new species were added to the list!  Becky will share the Verde Valley butterfly families you can expect to observe, including their distinguishing characteristics; as well as some of the best locations to find their species.  She will also share the difference between butterfly host and nectar plants and how you can attract butterflies to your garden.

Social at 5:30, presentation at 6:00.
