Food Plants for Butterfly Larvae

Different species of butterfly larvae feed on different plant species. More butterfly species can normally be found at places with a wide variety of plant species. Since many plants growing in urban parks are the food plants for butterfly larvae, these parks become the breeding sites for certain species of butterflies.
