A zebra swallowtail showed up on our property this summer and laid eggs and now caterpillars. It’s been about 10 years since I planted a pawpaw tree here. We enjoyed spicebush swallowtail caterpillars on spicebush last year and found a cecropia moth cocoon on our persimmon tree that hatched this spring. So rewarding to follow Doug’s lead and now our neighbor is planting native plants! Seems to be catching on. Keep up the great work!
I live in San Joaquin county, just south of Stockton. I planted two coastal live oaks instead of interior live oaks because they get bigger, and I don’t think they’re (Q. winslizeni) as drought tolerant. I hope they are as good for lepidopterans.
Over 1/3 of all homes in the United States are governed by HOAs. You don’t have to convince the individual homeowners alone. You have to convince the HOA boards. Good luck.
