Flutter
and Flora
H
opefully we’ll be seeing more colorful butterflies flitting about the island this year. Live Oaks Garden Club recently refurbished the Butterfly Garden at Demere Park. The garden has been designed to welcome butterflies and encourage all four stages of butterfly development. There is plentiful milkweed in the garden now to invite the but-
terflies to lay their eggs there. The milkweed is an important food source for the caterpillars that emerge from the eggs within four days. After eating, they form a chrysalis, from which an adult butterfly will emerge in about ten days. The adult will fly away in search of food and water, so abundant flowers they enjoy as food and water sources have been placed in the garden for the butterfly to enjoy.
