Silver-Spot Skipper Butterfly

Hi, I’m a silver-spotted butterfly!

I know that sometimes you might not notice me, but I play a big role in keeping the garden healthy by pollinating flowers. Here’s some advice: let me flutter around your flowers and rest in the sun—I won’t harm your plants! If you plant nectar-rich flowers like asters or sunflowers, I’ll stay around to keep your garden vibrant.

Please don’t use harsh chemicals that can harm me and other pollinators! If you see me laying eggs on the leaves, don’t worry—those tiny green caterpillars will eventually grow into more butterflies like me. They might nibble a little but won’t damage your plants.

I’m part of the ecosystem, helping nature thrive. We have a long history, and together, we can keep your garden lively and beautiful.

Help us survive, thank you so much!
