Anyone have any knowledge of these

Hello there,

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with keeping butterflies or moths. There is a place nearby my home which has a big butterfly conservatory which i always thought would be neat to have at my house.
only problem is i wouldn't know how to keep them or caterpillars alive...

or a butterfly bush, omg I have like 5 of those and they just get attacked by butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. I stopped putting my Hummingbird feeder up b/c it just comes to the bush all the time.

i've looked into both of these varieties and it seems as though they are from a warmer climate than myself. i would need something that likes snow. lots and lots of snow. but not to worry. i've seen quite a few lepidoptera already this summer, especially as it gets nearer the end of the season and end of the monarch's migration.

thanks anyways!

Just have a look for native Ontario plants that are attractive to butterflies- there are loads of them.

Here are a few:
The Butterfly Garden

I don't know how easy it is to culture them indoors, but a well-planted garden should give you lots to see when they're out and about.
