Creating a proper butterfly habitat is not complicated. In fact, the range of certain butterflies has expanded as urban gardeners have increased the man-made habitats.
To flourish butterflies need:
(1) Sunlight
(2) Nectar sources
(3) Host plants on which to lay eggs
(4) Water
(5) Basking areas
(6) Roosting areas
