Butterfly Time

We haven't seen as many butterflies this summer as previously. However, we did see a swallowtail enjoying a butterfly bush earlier in the summer. Today's butterfly was enjoying life on a butterfly bush on a sunny day in northwest Greensboro. Swallowtails are one of the most common types of butterflies found in our area. Summer is peak butterfly season with warm, sunny weather. If you want to see more in your yard, resist pesticides. If you really want to see a lot of butterflies at once, head to the Greensboro Science Center to their Butterfly House. In addition to the seven species they hosted last year, they have added nine new species. This new exhibit alone makes renewing your membership all worthwhile.
