  • Anartia jatrophae2 white peacock Butterfly are very common in Central America and the Caribbean, as well as southern Texas and Florida. Small numbers can also be found in North Carolina, Missouri, Nebraska, and Kansas.  White peacock butterflies are commonly found in warm, open, weedy areas such as fields or parks where water is abundant -usually in the form of a pond or stream. Adult butterflies are often seen along roadside ditches where host plants are abundant. Caterpillars require Bacopa monniera as a food source. As adults, white peacock butterflies feed on shepherd's needle, white hyssop, matchheads, wild Petunias, cordia, casearia and composites.

  • Hamelia patens Firebush is a beautiful plant that ranges in height from 3 to 6 ft tall (sometimes taller in southern Florida) attractant to both butterflies as well as hummingbirds. They also produce juicy berries which attract small mammals. They thrive in sunny locations as well as shade and can be pruned to control their rapid growth. Might freeze back in severe cold but bounces back easily. Botany,Detail,Firebush,Florida,Flower,Geotagged,Hamelia patens,Spring,United States,nature,photo by T.G,sun

  • Apis mellifera The western honey bee was one of the first domesticated insects, and is the primary species maintained by beekeepers to this day for both its honey and pollination services. he western honey bee now occupies every continent except Antarctica. Due to its wide cultivation, this species is the single most important pollinator for agriculture globally. A number of pests and diseases threaten the honey bee, especially colony collapse disorder. with Humans being the bigest threat.

  • eastern Lubber grasshopper This giant, slow moving grasshopper’s bright orange, yellow and red colors are a warning that it contains toxins and will make any potential predator sick.   If for any reason, you fail to heed the color warning and pick it up, the grasshopper makes a loud hissing noise and secretes an irritating foul-smelling foamy spray. These 4-inch grasshoppers are too large and toxic for most natural predators, so they don’t need to move fast.  Lubbers cannot fly far, and travel in short clumsy hops, or walk and crawl slowly through the vegetation.  They feed on broadleaf plants and can become a nuisance when swarms invade residential areas and feast on garden plants.Sorry about the phooto this one got away before i could get any good shots will be heading back out for a 2 week trip soon.

  • Wild_Vanda_Orchids_stem The plants do not possess pseudobulbs, but do possess leathery, drought-resistant leaves. Almost all of the species in this genus are very large epiphytes found in disturbed areas in habitat and prefer very high light levels, the plants having large root systems. Some of these species have a monopodial vine-like growth habit, and the plants can quickly become quite massive. Many Vanda orchids (especially V. coerulea) are endangered, and have never been common because they are usually only infrequently encountered in habitat and grow only in disturbed forest areas with high light levels, and are severely threatened and vulnerable to habitat destruction.[2] The export of wild-collected specimens of the blue orchid (V. coerulea) and other wild Vanda species is prohibited worldwide, as all orchids are listed on Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.

  • Asclepias tuberosa The genus name Asclepias is named after the Greek god of medicine Asklepios. This plant favors dry, sand or gravel soil. commonly known as butterfly weed because of the butterflies that are attracted to the plant by its color and its copious production of nectar. Butterfly weed is commonly planted in formal garden borders and in meadow and prairie gardens. This wildflower does not transplant well as it has a deep woody taproot. It is easily propagated from seed. Collect the seed from the pods has they just begin to open. Butterfly weed seed need a three-month cold stratification. Therefore, it is best to plant the seed in autumn and they will easily germinate the following spring.

  • Gaillardia pulchella Blanketflower, or firewheel, (Gaillardia pulchella) is an annual or very short-lived perennial common to much of Florida and the rest of North America. Gaillardia pulchella is a hardy plant, not picky about soil, though sandy and well-drained are best. It has a high drought tolerance and does best with a dry, hot climate in full sun. Its vibrantly colored flowers can be seen carpeting fields and the sides of highways for miles in the summer to late fall. Favored by honeybees, it produces a dark reddish amber buttery tasting honey. In the garden, the flowers can be removed/deadheaded to promote further blooming. It self-seeds freely.

  • Bleeding Heart Plant this is a photo of a wild plant in the everglades.This plant was very popular during the mid 19th century under the name "beauty bush". It lost favor only when its unusual culture conditions were forgotten. Specifically, its root system must be partially submerged in water most of the time, and it wants very good light. very rare to see in the wild like this one.

  • Zebra Longwing Zebra longwing adults roost communally at night in groups of up to 60 adults for safety from predators. The adult butterflies are unusual in feeding on pollen as well as on nectar; the pollen enables them to synthesize cyanogenic glycosides that make their bodies toxic to potential predators. Caterpillars feed on various species of Passionflower, evading the plants' defensive trichomes by biting them off or laying silk mats over them.
