Videos All About Butterflies

Butterflies come into their own with two great new videos from the Audubon Society: “Butterflies for Beginners” and “Butterfly Gardening.”

“Butterflies for Beginners” is an introduction to these colorful and beautiful insects. Thirty-three of the most common and wide-ranging species are shown in close-ups. Cost is $19.95.

After seeing those butterflies in detail, you’ll want to encourage them to visit your yard. Which brings you to “Butterfly Gardening,” a guide to raising the garden plants, shrubs, flowers and herbs that attract butterflies. Twenty-five of the most readily available plants that attract butterflies are featured in this footage, plus cultivation tips and a list of favorite butterfly visitors. Cost is $24.95.
