Do you have at least one nectar plant?

Nectar is a sweet viscous solution that comes mostly from blossoms but also occasionally from stems and leaves. This substance attracts visitors to the plant because it provides energy and nutrients for adult pollinators.

Yes

Do you have at least one host plant?

Butterflies and moths rely on grasses, plants, shrubs and trees to lay their eggs on. When these eggs hatch, the caterpillars will feed directly on the leaves and grow. Each species of pollinator has its own particular plant species (can be a single one or several types) that their caterpillars can feed on. Without the host plant/s, the caterpillar cannot transform into a moth or butterfly and the life cycle cannot be completed. This is an important reason to plant native pollinator plants whenever possible, as the life cycle of native plants are adapted to play a critical role in the pollinator’s lifecycle.

Yes

Is there shelter nearby for pollinators?

Shelter provides both resting areas and refuge from predators. Shelter can be shrubs or mature trees, brambles patches, rock or log piles, a densely planted are of a garden, meadow prairie, dense foliage, leaf cover, plant stems for overwintering insects, and more.

Yes

Do you have a water source available?

Water sources can be a bird bath, water garden, a butterfly mineral puddling dish, pond and more.
