若您想吸引您喜欢的蝴蝶来访，最好的方式就是种植他们的食用树。他们会在食用树上产卵，毛毛虫会呆在您的花园长大。 毛毛虫对于他们的k可以吃或不可以吃的植物是非常执著的，所以雌蝴蝶具有极好的辨识能力让她们找到正确的植物。因此如果您种植了他们喜爱的植物，这必定会吸引雌蝴蝶的前来。雌蝴蝶甚至可以“闻”到几公里外的植物！
而您也会吸引到雄蝴蝶前来，当然他们是被雌蝴蝶吸引过来的。
另外，千万记得别洒农药，您所种植的植物可是他们的食物！
当然并不是名单上的所有的品种的蝴蝶都会被吸引过来，非常大比例的澳洲蝴蝶都是产于热带北昆士兰的热带雨林。这也是我们在这创园的原因！
当您吸引了蝴蝶后，别忘了蝴蝶也是需要食物的。只要种点植物带花的就可以让她们一直待在您的花园里。
