"Butterflies used to reproduce on the native plants that grew in our yards before the plants were bulldozed and replaced with lawn. To have butterflies in our future, we need to replace those lost host plants, no if’s, and’s, or but’s. If we do not, butterfly populations will continue to decline with every new house that is built."
Doug Tallamy, internationally recognized entomologist and author of Nature's Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation that Starts in Your Yard
