According to her, the white, purple, yellow and red lantana plants are ideal to attract butterflies, besides the blue spike, ixora and marigold. "But the adult butterfly needs to sit on nectar plants, such as those with curry leaves, so that it can lay eggs and the caterpillar can feed on the plant. So, if you just want butterflies around, you can plant Lantana, but if you want to see the full life cycle — which lasts a week, on an average —then you need a combination of these plants," she says.
You can also get your kids along as they can observe and later particpate in a butterfly-making origami session.
