Butterflies add to the beauty of the nature. They are quite fascinating insects and their evolution from the caterpillars is a thing of wonder in itself. The present situation of the environment is such that the natural habitat of birds, animals and even insects is being disturbed. Many ways have been found out to retain the beauty of nature by preserving these creatures. The winged creatures i.e. the butterflies can be seen frequently by creating a butterfly garden, whereby varieties of butterflies can come. Butterfly gardens can be maintained with the right and effective information related to butterflies. Butterfly houses are a part of these butterfly gardens and they give shelter to the butterflies that come in the garden. The butterfly houses are often used as decorative accessories for the butterfly gardens.

The butterfly houses have slits which are useful in providing shelter to the butterflies from the weather and wind. These slits also keep the birds out of the butterfly houses. At night or when cold, the butterfly house can be used by the butterflies. The butterfly houses can attract butterflies when the environment is created to match the natural habitat of the butterflies. Wood piles, rock clefts, etc can be placed in the butterfly houses to create the natural effect. Keeping water in the front of the butterfly house, or better still, a source of nectar is inevitably responsible in attracting the butterflies towards the house. Flowers or butterfly feeders can act as the means of providing food to the butterflies and in turn attract the butterflies in the butterfly houses.

To attract the butterflies, caterpillars must be given equal attention. Plants which can be good source of drawing in the caterpillars must also be planted in the garden. The leaves of plants like Asters, Snapdragons, Milkweed, etc are the food source of the caterpillars. So planting these can be the primary step for getting different kinds of these colorful winged creatures in the garden. Butterfly bush, Aster, Black-eyed Susan, etc are great source of nectar for the butterflies. So the next step should be to place these plants in the butterfly garden. Caterpillars may be a source of nuisance as they will destroy many plants, but they are essential for creating these vibrant winged creatures. Many species of butterflies may love mud puddles and wet sand. It is a great practice to keep a wet sand filled dish and have rocky surface around it to absorb the heat. Butterfly houses may also be used as a place of hibernation for the wintering species of butterflies. Just like the bird houses attract the birds, the butterfly houses are a place to draw in more and more butterflies.
