Backyard butterfly garden programs usually do not encourage gardeners to consider nearby plant communities (forests, prairies, or parks) when choosing plants for their gardens. Such programs often promote homogenous plantings and tend to focus on species that have beautiful flowers, attract butterflies, bloom year-round, and require little attention.  This often means that they promote nonnative, potentially invasive plant species.&#8221;<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\" width=\"69%\">\n<p><\/center><small>camera: <b>Nikon D500<\/b> | lens: <b>AF Nikkor VR 300mm f\/2.8G IF-ED with Nikon AF-S Teleconverter TC14E III<\/b><br \/>\nfocal length: 420mm | exposure: f\/5.6 &#8211; 1\/4000 &#8211; ISO 500<\/small><br \/>\n<center><\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\" width=\"69%\">\n<p><\/center><small><sup>1<\/sup>Harvey, Rebecca G, et al. \u201cNative Habitats for Monarch Butterflies in South Florida.\u201d Native Habitats for Monarch Butterflies in South Florida, IFAS Extension University of Florida, June 2018, <a href=\"edis.ifas.ufl.edu\/pdffiles\/UW\/UW31100.pdf\">edis.ifas.ufl.edu\/pdffiles\/UW\/UW31100.pdf<\/a>.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kaleidoscope Nymphalidae Danaus plexippus Monarch butterfly St Marks National Wildlife Reserve Florida Americana Collection photography by David Allio<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[597,598,596,1049],"tags":[773,940],"class_list":["post-3943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-danaus-plexippus","category-monarch-butterfly","category-nymphalidae-family-of-brush-footed-butterflies","category-st-marks-national-wildlife-refuge","tag-butterfly-photography","tag-fl-florida"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p21yji-11B","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidallio.com\/da-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidallio.com\/da-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidallio.com\/da-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidallio.com\/da-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidallio.com\/da-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3943"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidallio.com\/da-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3943\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3954,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidallio.com\/da-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3943\/revisions\/3954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidallio.com\/da-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidallio.com\/da-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidallio.com\/da-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
