Hawaii has many different butterfly species and they need all the help they can get.

Most people know what a monarch butterfly is but have hardly ever seen any of the state’s other butterfly species. Milkweed, or crown flower plant, is a must for monarchs. Any advice from the Butterfly Society of Hawaii, The Maui Butterfly Farm, or anyone who has a butterfly garden can help turn this eyesore into a beautiful butterfly garden.
Let’s get the ball rolling. Anyone else have any ideas on how proceed with this idea? Who does not like beautiful butterflies?
The butterfly called Kamehameha is our state insect and not found outside of Hawaii. I have lived in Hawaii almost 30 years and have never seen one.
