The few months that I have been a member of the AR community, I have read some wonderful stories about our furry friends (mainly cats & dogs). I was on Facebook the other day and the post below captured my attention. The following words drew me to read the post, "simple act of kindness.' I thought I'd share it with the AR community - especially for gardeners, butterfly lovers, those with insect interest, and those who are curious to learn to new things.
Because I have always held the view that an act of kindness is about people doing something good for other people, I have never thought that an act of kindness could apply to insects. Yes, a butterfly can be either an animal or insect. Butterflies belong to the class Insecta, which is a sub-group of animals called anthropods.
A banana hanger is a simple way to attract butterflies to your garden. Here's how to make one:Butterflies like ripe fruit, especially bananas, and will be attracted to the sweetness. This method can also attract other beneficial insects like bees and hummingbirds. Enjoy watching these beautiful creatures visit your garden!
