He gravest and chronic inflammatory de mile in aiding pauline bureaucracy tune into fine strength,
community on your journey on the
our radio up, apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast amazon, wants to help. You share joy. This holidays
and as we all know, the holidays are all about these joyful moments. That's right out
member when my family drove up to Helen georgia, when I was a kid and bought one of those very first cabbage patch kids for my sister, this was a way ahead of the nation wide craze. This may have been.
one of the first hundred or so these dolls it wherever made actually- and of course it was a huge hit
still. Has it all these many years later to this day, and you know what a hope one day the gods will smile on me and I can find something like that for a loved one before it breaks out its these types of
moments at amazon helps create during the holidays. However, you share joy
it could happen with amazon, hey everyone. We want to announce that we have. Our final three shows the year on the
books august twelfth in orlando Florida september,
takes a national, tennessee and winding up
right here in Atlanta September night, they're gonna be great, just great great, great great,
So if you want to come see the stuff you should know greatness the last of it for the year. You can buy
going to stuff. You should know that calm and checking at our tour page or going to link tree such as why escape either way you get links to tickets in all the info. You need we'll see
starting in august, welcome to stuff, you should know a production of iheart radio, the stadium oakland to the podcast, SAM Josh and there's chuck and jerry's here too, and this is stuff you should know part two of a one- two punch of insect goodness yeah caterpillars. Hopefully you just listen to if you didn't, you might want to because
really you know without
the pillar. There is no butterfly episode yeah. I feel like that,
did stand on their own. Like I don't know, you have to listen to wonder undersea or we're gonna talk about here. None, I know, but
you know we're probably gonna say when it comes. Time
talk about how the caterpillar turns into a butterfly the hottest go back, and
I'm too two days ago and listen to that when right will be like thing,
you, too, limited
and once again we have to thank the house for its that common our
we're in current colleague, Tracy Wilson.
As well as our former colleague, not current jennifer horton?
read a fun piece about butterfly gardens that we can talk about the end, but I forgot about
Remember! Oh! Yes, she is great. She
lots of great stuff is good person took the general
you're out there listen but high, I it's been awhile.
since two thousand eight or nine integrated long one
So we're talking about butterflies- and we
You probably can pick up that where we left off his, we taught think about caterpillars being passed, said the end,
consider passed, but they're not really. Why should pick up after the
The caterpillar emerges from its chrysalis because we're talking specifically about butterflies, so it's the chrysalis not a cocoon that it metamorphoses within
and what's it emerges is up,
Therefore, creature that resembles the
pillar that it was almost not at all. But it's the same exact creature. To get the same mind
I can remember, smells and all that, but where
The caterpillar was built for eating.
We said, unless episode to the butterflies built for sex sex yeah, they built for me,
producing
I do
should we talk to, I mean sure, back in time, just a little bit and talk about the fact that, like the distant
in between malls and butterflies and stuff. Like that sure didn't you
did you
well was the deal. Wasn't it aren't malls and butterflies, basically mostly the same except mouser? They they do
their sex at night, but if I do their tax in the day, yeah I mean there's,
not many distinctions between them other than my obvious ones, but that's the biggest one and the reason why butterflies, a dire, nolan motto nocturnal is because,
all butterflies think what is it like? Fifteen thousand twenty thousand species, a lot of Amelia all of them are descended from moths, and these were just monster started to do there
thing in the daytime, rather than the night time, and
her time they
vall to fit in the daytime rather than the night time, which is how mouths evolved, so
a moths. Camouflage is meant to blend in with like a tree. Words
weeping during the day, whereas a butterflies, bright colored because its islands,
a time any needs to blend in with them
colorful file
Instead, it likes to hang on
do you know why a mental look this up and didn't?
Why, then, a moth so attractive light
I saw that they think that it is attracted to the moon, for navigation, ok and then
therefore, aren't attracted to light because they dont navigate by the moon. They lost their ability or that need well
butterflies, navigate by the sun? That's one of the one! Am I making facts about butterflies yet, but
That's weird that they don't fly to light big they'd. They are not attracted to flames are light bulbs.
I. Well, maybe they know, son is death.
Here, whereas the moon is nice and go
Should we talk about their bodies? A little bit is that's where we like to start off, usually with our insect, casts.
One more thing. Let's talk about where the word butterfly came from a where'd you come from, oh,
well is very old english and it means butter and fly writing
real mystery there, but the reason they think there's two reasons why they are named butterflies and the old english and they think it's either because some of them
pale, yellow and colors, and they resemble butter. We can pretty much
the scar, thou and the other one
is that there was a folk belief that they stole butter. That day
we're just kind of some sort of supernatural spirit in a butterfly formed to come into doing your milk in your butter and theirs.
We of that and other nearby languages, I think the jury.
it's called butterflies, milk thieves, mutter fairy. Almost yes
and then the dutch and the germans have a word for butterfly. That means butter which so that
probably why butterflies or called that, because they used to think that they stole butter reno
was the whole time it was grandpa. Do this night night eating
yeah. He could get one c c a blood to those orders. They were so her out.
here's on ambient does it
Does it say when the name morphed for my wife into flutter fly,
They actually used to think or something like that. It's a pretty strange idea that their cause
butterflies rather than flutter, buys because it makes more sense, so Emily's kind of taking it at a much smarter direction. But it's interesting ass. She probably just doesn't know that the fact that they are actually witches in disguise you're out of steel butter, milk, yeah, she's, still cousin butterflies, discipline,
does she called spaghetti posterity now
now to slaughter vice
others there their bodies now, yes, yes, thank you for indulging, may feel so indulged sure
so like we meant
the head. The thorax in the abdomen of the butterfly will look a lot
she caterpillar in some ways, if you hold them up next to each other
that's about it.
For one a butterfly can,
see a lot better than a caterpillar. Can I get
the idea that it still doesn't have like you know.
Great vision, but
caterpillars, remember, but were essentially blind, butterflies at least had these compound eyes and they can detect color, and I think we said
caterpillar could only see in black and white. They can.
take the movement as well right
but when it comes to like the star of the show, as far as
her fly parts go it's those antennae,
will hold I'm before we move on. I've got one about the eyes to donate a monarch, butterfly like basically the quintessential butterfly sure they
twelve thousand eyes, both compound and simple, and they go basically all way around their head.
They- can see in your soul,
and that's why they, maybe that's
there's a great migrating every year in such large numbers, possibly
I think we talked about in our animal migration episode. We talked about monarch, butterfly migration. I think we said one of the reasons why they are able to make it for me
Can it all the way down the northwest? Mexico is
because they are they navigate using uv. They see in the u v yeah, it's that it at son
that's. Gonna brings me background to antennae. Oh good,
These things are amazing. They they
get their sense of direction from the position of the sun.
So they are literally navigating by the position of the sun,
the international actors light receptors.
It attract the sun, their highly
Attuned to odors
internet are great smelters. They
its pheromones during times of mating making, even since these antennae, the beat of wings of
butterflies. It was of the same species during miles and that's amazing, just the antennae just Anthony.
how about the lady old, well,
yeah. Those are, if you, if you look at a close up of a butterfly and they can take an indifferent,
positions but usually have seen them, they look like kind of harry tusks, come out
out of woodchuck coming out,
their head well near them mouth parts. The of thinking is now officially a tracy wilson article that right
so they apparently or like this is food. This isn't food. This is food but
don't eat with the label pops it's just a way of sensing food, what they eat with
is there proboscis and there that's the law,
kind of tom like appendage that they suck nectar with that's right
one more thing of milady opium. So, ok, they
yeah
They come to surmise that had to tax food that the function was
fairly unknown, but
think they ve learned. I'm not sure how recently that they can those libya paths detect co2 in the year only says they'll make
That might be the main function of that's really call us,
so instead of seeing redder green, they have the label pops. I detect. I guess seo too,
it was a reference to a reality at the sun
so what part did you move too? I'm
on to their proboscis? Oh,
everyone loves a good proboscis in the
the the butterfly proboscis is interesting because when the boy
your fly comes out and we'll talk about this mornin. Second, it's on
like it should have a a label this, as some assembly required, have because they got
do some stuff before they can really do their butterfly thing and one of those things is literally
most screwing together their proboscis. Yet they have
two parts of their proboscis that they have to connect in order
start eating of it's one of the first things that they do and they expect
from their chrysalis he closed.
No, they don't like apple, has trade mark or something
and we'll talk more about the promises we go. But we do need dimension their legs
If you remember, the caterpillars have six real legs, then
the pro legs,
replies, and only in those pro legs anymore, because I'm flying basically
but I still get those six legs. I've got a set of four legs: the middle eggs and some hind legs, and these
These are pretty there more than just legs as well, because they will land on something. And
they're looking for dissolving sugars, basically to eat, and there
Looking for that with their legs yeah and all
you probably see fairly commonly that there are some butterflies,
is that only have two pairs:
legs and that's not true. They actually have six, but why
paris, basically shrivelled almost two nothingness and by the where I should.
Europe when I say their legs are looking for dissolving sugars there
doing it by feel like that, they are taste organs in
in their feet: yeah they can
is through all sorts of different origins, pretty cool they apparently when there they step in, like some dissolving sugar, their per boss,
on coils involuntarily, where you goin to start sipping nectar mediately man. So you better hope that year, your legs.
Finally, a tune to sugar and you dont accidently suck up some really gross stuff.
like ours, pass rifle
the worst word, it's the worst, it's pretty bad,
That is why it is there a genetic utensil. There
like what it, what are the odds that one of the grossest things has the grossest word?
I don't know. I wonder if that was intentional near like what is at the purse right, that's on girls enough sure was go with it. Should please, please stop talking about us
sure Webster, the wings. We're gonna talk about allied dwell. We did a whole episode on.
that you're a distance of butterfly wings. So we were not really get into it here, but if you want to learn about your destiny, is very complex and complicated and deserved its own episode many years ago yet but thought shot. Is the structure of the scales are transparent, multi layered and they reflect in amplify light multiple times,
It's that was a really cool episode. If I remember correctly,
then it was a tough one. If I remember too, like absorb
But we did such a great job of it. I would like to say we probably just knocked it out of the park. Really, I think so too
but the butterfly wings are made of is transparent, called tighten. If you ve heard of cotton near you, problem
it's alive on the earth, because it is
one of the most abundant powell.
Jack rides in nature its think this sector
most abundant.
all over the place
Let's make other wings are made of that kind and they have those sort of a vain like,
structures that you can, if you look at them
closely, don't touch,
No, please, no
What about that in an absurd, but there
as for wings,
There are obviously toward the front and they are basically triangular and then the hind wings for the butt and they
look like little seashells, yes, and there, like you, said
touch on a very, very delicate and those veins our species specific. So that's one of the ways that they are used to recognise one another when their meeting as well yeah- and, I think
The butterflies cannot repair their wings is an accurate. Yes, they have no mean.
of doing that. They have no car shield for wings the item,
it kills them. But if a butterfly can't fly, that's probably ultimately a death sentence right. That's my girl.
I would make an easy prey at the very least yeah, I think that's kind of deal when they say a butterfly will die if you touch their wings. Yes, it will die quicker
there's something there? A butterfly
as recently closed in a baby. That system born having common. Do you know what it is
maybe the go ahead: they both
poop out in a mechanism- oh sure
a human baby, yeah yeah.
yeah marconi him is that that first poop that they taken in this case the butterflies pooping, what
Last eight is a caterpillar, that's so cool! It is really cool
It's usually red bright red, almost looks like blood the verified.
poops that out, that's one, the first things it does
I clean off all of its organs its feet to make sure its sugar refining outpost finding clean off it
and ten has put its proboscis together again here. Let its wings dry out,
I saw it. I dont think we mentioned in the caterpillar episode that in its last
in star it has wings, are either just folded up under its skin, develop even further in the chrysalis, but when they there, when they come out their soaking wet, because the butterfly was due,
not too long ago, and they have.
Spread a mountain lenin dry and the sign before they can fly so they're doing all this like self care basic
it's a morning at the spot, right after their born
And but they can't just like flap their wings,
open immediately? They actually have to pump them up,
almost again, air pomp inflating a raft or something or some high sobs yeah prison.
May I remember that itself money what a scam?
How was a guy right
im quite sure you could break your ankle and that just as easily as any other shoe sure yeah it may give you like a little tighter, fit or something I dunno about that
in four people that are our younger
our younger listeners, if you dont, know who merely vanilla was or pump best.
Well she's, ever think, reebok right
pretty sure was reebok head,
basketball. She is that on the tongue had a little basketball. That was a little pomp and you it. But
issues tie them up and then press pump a bunch of times in it
fill some
cavities with air. I guess and make your juice tighter yeah, especially around your enclose, meant to give you extra ankle support. So you could dump your even though you've never docked in your life, that's right, but adds but webb repping them. So, oh yeah,
Yeah and keep up a gear was one of them
because we're the while
but anyway the butterfly we explain whose, but whether it is a diminutive in behavior
for the deadline to get his autograph on time,
they pump their wings out, but not with air there's a fluid that they pump through these those two black things we were talking about and just sort of inflate them out and
but you said they just get all cleaned up and ready to fly. Yes,
and then once there already, they said,
the flying and they realize very quickly up it's not over
good data fly
We take a break and come back and explain
what in the holy hack I'm talking about,
yeah,
at ford we pride ourselves on building strong, capable vehicles, but we're only as strong as the people who drive them.

From director george clooney comes the new film, the boys in the boat, starring, joy, edgerton and callum turner, based on the number one new york times best selling book written by Daniel James brown, about the nineteen thirty six university of washington rowing team that competed for the gold at the summer olympics in berlin. This inspirational true story follows a group of underdogs, as they take on elite rivals from around the world scene.
the boys in the boat only in theatres, this christmas get tickets at boys in the boat movie, dot, com,
night,
when the holy hug you talkin about. Oh well, let me,
splain chuck, it turns out
the butterflies, while
pretty hardy individuals, at least as far as insects are concerned, on that level,
There are also very delicate link. We talked about with their wings,
even beyond their wings, getting like a raindrop dry
through it. Tat can happen
or say like strong wind pattering. It that's a big problem for a butterfly just the tip
it sure the ambient temperature has a tremendous effect on them nuts,
because their actual terms, meaning there like a lizard? They rely on the the ambient temper,
you're too warm themselves or call themselves off
muscles, just simply will not function. When it drops below a certain temperature year,
god Tracy points out. They work best
their internal temperature, is about eighty two fahrenheit when
it celsius,
and you know they use these wings reply in which is great,
but you might think like a big deal of his. They discover hunker down
but they also use these wings to do all kinds of like cool things like
namely to scare we pray,
there is a young, do all sorts of likely
make eyes were it looks like a scary face. Come like their little caterpillar former self skin, look like snakes again,
she's bright, colors there,
at the time they get away predator and
if they can't move their wings is not just
they can't fly, but they can't defend themselves or disguise themselves. So it means that when it's
cold outside or
it's too windy, rainy or something than their way more vulnerable to pray very for sure, as bray right
you can't even pray could probably get them. That's how vulnerable they are so sure. So, I'm you often see like butterflies is kind of basking in the sun. Have always
Under what they're doing like they just seem like there, they don't
know what to do next. That's all it's alright shocking for some reason, but the king of their next move, but in reality there just sitting there getting warmed up by the sun, so they can fly to another spot. If you see
think about the next time- you see a butterfly basking in the sun,
bet it's below eighty degrees out in the erika- is having the warm itself. If so, it can fly onto the next flower to eat or rest or whatever is good point
they do take shelter at night when it gets chile. That's why you don't see.
First one was around at night. Mainly and like you said there
what are they timer dwellers called the diurnal die,
no you're, not that they are now.
as I remember
now, it is ok, you do remain
That's all. I need to remember it right,
but you're the best those wings or sit around on rocks
they they shelter at night, sometimes that they will actually do like ay
human shiver to warm up. They can kind of shake their butterfly wings,
Yet their muscles warmed up to fly. They just they just can't go out cold. They adela warm up. First, it like that m that knee high thing
We should all these really really high liken in place a bunch of times
a girl, innocently soccer players. Do yeah like that.
The latter guy right
then there is an name for that, but dont bother emailing us whether we can figure it out.
They also can use those wings as little referred.
Jurors, like you know how in nineteen fifties and sixtys people would set out in the sun with us,
fletchers under their neck, to reflect son back on their faces, they can use their wings to do that to their to their body in warm it up right, which is pretty
whom they can also be. They can also keep the sun from warming them up when it's too hot out the fold their wings together in this present, like the edge the outer edge.
their wings to the sun, so there is much less surface area yeah. I'm makes
and they.
Like you said when you see them sitting there, probably not sitting for law,
they're, probably sitting just
they can
Get it going to fly again shortly. Exactly so,
even though there sitting there warming themselves up to move from flower to flower, even in that
Typically, what you see
there's a lot of species, it see at least two hundred.
my great over a very long distances,
monarch, so the ones that they're, like the money, the money butterfly that everybody knows about the more the
this wise because they migrate so far again they migrate.
Eastern canada to north west
It's a it takes eight months and not a single butterfly. That starts the journey is alive at the end. So it's like you.
get the butterfly by the way, a butterfly flock or a group of butterflies,
call the kaleidoscope. I love that
so that's the official one. There also called the flutter shimmer in rainbow of butterflies. Ok,
we're butterflies yet, but you look
the kaleidoscope of butterflies is like a single organism in each individual butterfly that lives in dies in reproduces
not necessarily in that order, as
like cells that function and make up the larger whole. But it's really a bunch of individual butterflies, fine together, but migrating as a whole.
Down from eastern canada to north west mexico gear,
Yes since were there
there was a big deal
boris station, illegal deforestation, logging operation in
ago at the butterfly biosphere reserve and twenty fifteen
and then they are like, I can remember life
you're. Forty acres of land
cut down before anyone knew what was going on, and
then in
we can't get into new york is really complex, but they have this very involved plan that they ve been enacting. Since then of reforestation,
including something called assisted migration.
I don't fully understand yet, but I'm gonna look into it more. They just drive slowly by some butterflies and swipe them into the car and drive them halfway. Well,
think. Things are better now, but there were a billion butterflies and that migration and ninety ninety six
and in fact, twenty sixteen that was down to thirty five million from a billion
and I think, has since gone up under these
birds, but that's good year. The butterfly
as if you take down where there
and they get to them. They're gonna die,
That's the guy
sphere reserve. As a UNESCO world heritage site, you can go visit, it
but apparently, when the number of butterflies that show up or in the billions, the though
inches that they're sitting on bend under aware of butterflies. That's how many ratifies there are sometimes, but he has
it's a very problematic that there's fewer and fewer I'm glad to hear that it's kind of bounced back a little bit, but there still under. I wonder if their endangered
critical right now, but there's turkey there's something we keep an eye on as will see because their indicators species they are
and there also pollinators they're, not you know,
the best pollinators writer, pretty good they're, not like bees and the bees were made to pollinate. They were a sailor hit vehicle. They would be shirts
but the somebody,
what are some butterflies? Don't spread poland at all. They just love that nectar
but generally butterflies are looked at as partners, and they have that proboscis like you, said that,
it's made for for diving, deep into those flowers and get now that sweet stuff.
But butterflies, have lots of,
dietary needs they can't just get by on that sweet, sweet sugar,
they need minerals and stuff, and they get this in a variety of interesting ways. Right.
Yeah one is puddles till just descend on a puddle that bear dirt, not don't think asphalt would work, so they can grow to think about.
but the minerals from the dirt in the soil leech into the puddle and the butterflies suck up those minerals through the puddle apparent,
If there's not enough minerals for their liking, they'll actually flutter off
a quick and then come back to the puddle and
that little butterfly movement is enough,
disturbance of the water to bring some extra minerals to this.
surface of the puddle for them to drink
to create a hurricane
in belize
if there is no water, is pretty girls if it gets pretty bad
they both resort to
puking onto the soil and
drinking that minerals. Puke. I took a more spit. One man's met
right, but the minerals, the nutrients, and it's not it's just not enough for the nectar
exactly they done. Some studies. Ok, we'll go eat, fruit, delete rotten food on the ground or they will get on a piece of fruit. They will stop
bonnet with her little feet. I ought to try and tender eyes a little bit and then jab it with
proboscis
in drink it up and they've done studies that have found that the fruit
here's live longer.
And are better at reproducing in studies, because they, I think, was them monarchs. Even they fed them either mash banana or
and the ones that eight, the mash banana laid almost two times as many eggs in those eggs were,
we're bigger, unlike more robust and vital as well yeah. I also read that they tend to be easier going in social situations and are more well liked by their peers, the fruit eaters. Yet
so there's a couple other places that they can get nutrients minerals dung in urine, but it has not above that harm is done
if they need it really badly, but that the when they're getting it from a puddle. It's called paddling,
This is so many great words around butterflies and there's a spy
civic word for butterflies, pollinating plants. It's called so costly laden.
Though philly, but with one l. Okay. So
civically butterflies, pollinating plants, a psycho fully. I love that. I thought you
I found that love like trucks, gonna love,
stuff. You mentioned that you know butterflies, loves a train reproduce and
a reproduce like a lot of animals they
it joined themselves. They join in the end at the admin.
Think the mail has a like the class clasps down on the female
I took to make sure they stay together and there is sperm from the male that is eventually going to fertilize the eggs of a female butcher, not
like you would think it's pretty remarkable, because what they do is they
well, first of all, they have to recognise each other. Like a cities and ms antennae
Recognise themselves is the same species or whatever, and
through their pheromones as well, which is also the internet.
and then the male delivers a spur metaphor. So it's like hey
just have sperm for you. I've package did up in a and a little
package for you- and it's got all these other minerals and nutrients that you love that will help you in this
fertilisation process and they will take extra times
An extra good superman,
before package ready to be,
extra attractive. Mate
the good ones. Will your
so the idea that the I guess
the female butterflies when,
fertilizer eggs, they use the last sperm that
was inserted them. The evangelists promote afore package. So there are some species, were the mail will basically close up shop
after he's inserted as per metaphor, with kind of like a sticky substance that prevent more sperm from going in. So his error is the most recent sperm this
very cool at all, but I guess you guys also, like
you know what am I doing given you, my superman for, if you're just gonna use the latest sperm,
for that you got exactly. I went to a lot of trouble combining the spur metaphor. We look at the stuff, because these minerals,
I also saw the sum of the males in some species will
spray them with an off putting sent
so no other butterflies will want them.
There are mating dances that they'll do
the day. You know when the female gets this romantic
they put it in their bertha and then they wait until they're ready to lay their eggs and they actually lay their eggs first.
and then use
sperm to fertilize on once they have laid the eggs, which is also, I say,
pretty unusual in the insect kingdom right
I dont know
for some reason I have the impression that they were
fertilizing each egg is they were coming out, can like a peasant spencer,
yeah yeah. That's what I mean, though, but they're not like they're, not fertilize in the body
see what you're saying there fertilized externally. Yeah sure. That's that's the word.
one other thing you talked about terrible smells turned up that there are some pheromones hard
Doesn't smelling to humans.
Speak very limited,
but the green vain white butterfly. Let's hear it,
puts the other women oil. For all intents and purposes it has the same. Chemical composition is lemon oil, but
the pheromone, produces to attract a mate, and I gotta tell you lemonade
Pretty great smaller, detract me too. I love it,
ever smaller, a great veined white during me
season you can smell some lemon oil.
The gestation periods about three days and they lay anywhere from ten to three hundred eggs.
clusters over a two to four week period.
It's that long be again here
before we go
And that these eggs, that you know they they lay that many cause it's tougher, these eggs to survive into adulthood they gotta, be the temperatures got to be just right. Humidity's got to be just right,
right very easily if it's too wet
it's not well enough they're gonna dry out- and
and, of course, there's all those predators that are just die and eat those butterfly eggs. They need to find the goldilocks zone with the humidity for the eggs, with its writing
so. They also make sure that they put the eggs on their babies favorite food, which is a certain kind of plant numb there.
butterflies are very frequently indiscriminate pollinators. They just go from plant the plant, but there.
Plenty of species that are very plant specific in those are the ones where they will not only
that plant, whether their caterpillars
you're probably born on that same plan as well. We used
a butterfly bush or yard. That was those things
get really big and out of control
canada kind? We have sort of a wild garden anyway, it's not like you,
Super manicure, like english, tat garden, it's kind of crazy, fun garden, so it
in the garden and we did
tons and tons of butterflies, but
it went away, and I don't know if it's, because I think some people want
it could be an invasive species. A lot of people say like it
the butterfly bush right. We had one for a while, but dont now said Emily may have taken down
areas and so the reason it's considered invasive in harmful the butterflies is, it produces tons of nectar, but it
as no value in in supporting eggs or the lifecycle of other than nectar for adults, and so it's a
strachan from native plants. They do provide
don't just nectar, but also shelter and a place to lay their eggs soda
It disrupts the life cycle of local butterflies. You know it's a butterfly bush. They love, it is actually dad for them. So I have to go cut mine after this
Even if you have a lot of those natives nearby like as a whole, it still bad yes, because it's a distraction because it so
chock full of nectar that they go to that one instead and die off. Some distractions are ok right, like television.
Sure you could put a tv within extinction core down your butterfly garden. That's not gonna harm them, but if you have a butterfly bush, you have to chop it down. I command! You right
there really pretty now in his fancy other butterflies, but yeah. I get you in that
wait until you ve planted other plants which will talk about, and then you can drop down your butterfly bush
Well, let's take a break or second break and
We'll talk a little bit more about. What's going on with a butterfly population and in butterfly garden spreading

Ok? Well, we talked already about the monarchs and how they had been hit hard from the illegal logging going on in mexico in the mid twenty tens
and
in general, butterflies or doing ok, but there are some in pesticides, and things like that, I think
one of the other big reasons. Besides the logging,
migration of the monarchs. I think pesticides is kilowatt, milkweed, which I think the monarchs love
pesticides are a big threat and it's not like
in this way. This one little part of my garden like pesticides in your garden,
then one part of your garden generally means it's in
those parts of your guard yeah travelled very easily, but on top of that butterflies, extremely sensitive to pesticides,
Oh, I don't know about herbicides, but definitely pesticide. So if you're going to plan a butterfly garden, you wanna use natural pests defences, but that's a big thing: that's cool
not butterflies and andy's too.
And then also we talked about in the last episode. A lot of people. Think of caterpillars passes like oh, you ate, saw my letters, many kill
all of you that that kills
butterflies too, they never make it to be adult by revising you'd is disrupted generations of butter
as that could have been so when you put all its together. Humans have not been
super good for butterflies. Did you mentioned urbanization and roads to now?
you're a problem like any time we build somewhere. We destroy plants in those oftener, butterflies, that's a butterfly habitat and then
the roads that we have
Marginal land alongside the roads are often like great places for butterfly centric,
plants to grow, but them
did. The butterflies are very close to cars that are going suddenly eighty miles an hour which has never good for the butterfly when they come in contact with them, so
like I was seeing. Humans have been kind of bad for butterflies, but fortunately
we're going to wake up and see the value in verifies goes beyond like with put that thing on a stamp
there's there's more value to the butterfly injustice, aesthetic beauty, but that
plenty valuable in and of itself, I wonder
if butterflies, another insects would ever
natural selection would be set,
did, they would learn to fly higher than the height of an average car sure. I could see
but then they run into semis nurse like her
can it take millions more years to get the higher than a semi good point
maybe they'll figure out how to fly under cars.
We quickly
maybe some trigger, verdure
collecting butterflies is believe it or not. Another thing that has hit the butterfly population butterfly collecting, but
rises, a thing
butterflies and
putting them behind glass in your office.
Is a thing that some people are really into, and I dont know a lot about that,
but I do know that-
that there are certain species that are endangered
and part of the problem- is over collect. Yeah, the more rare a butterfly species gets the more desirable. It is four collector
and the more collecting harms that population, because it so small
so or a boroughs, but the worst kind near
and I imagine we'll hear from some collectors who who can
that was that there are responsible ways of doing this. I really don't know enough about it to speak to it, but I'm not going to collect butterflies. That's all I'm going to say
yeah. I wonder if it's one of the things like ivory, where it's like? Ok, this happened. This is done like these things are out there,
and we're not just gonna throw away that's even bigger waste
right so that, like antique ivory or antique taxidermy, butterflies or legal,
anything new is illegal. I wonder if it
treated like that or what? But I get the impression
but if I don't have that much legal protection,
I think they do on paper, but its very rarely enforced against the people
on the ground, or something that sir, you have every election. Sir,
but something on Iraq, but neither dead right sure
fell over the old age.
Should we talk about butterfly gardens here then yeah, because one of the things people are doing you're saying like hey butterflies, we gotta save these butterflies. We don't.
Things are gonna, go pear, shaped even more, and so people are starting to plant butterfly gardens
yeah. I guess I think you said there are big indicator of like
if butterflies, your dying off all around you, that's a big indicator of how your local ecosystem is doing yet large part of the canaries, the coma exactly
and butterfly gardens are beautiful and it doesn't take a lot. You need some some plants
you gonna want plants will you're want to find out what kind of butterflies you have round you, that's big on you can,
look at your eyeballs in in cross reference, regan dislike it up on the internet.
You want to find out what can a plants, those butterflies, love that are native to your area and plant those chow
when I was researching this. All they wanted to do was be done with this episode, so I can go garden down.
I love that Emily's gardening, I'm looking at her right now, man, gardening, outside a pound on your window and tell her I'm jealous. However, we,
I put it on my instagram mountain of you saw it, but you with I saw a huge, wasn't, a big
a hornets nest.
Our backyard yesterday, that is the coolest, both beautiful thing,
im kind, tucked in a magnolia branch about only
feed off the ground.
And I'm glad ass large ass. I was about to go. Do some trimming of my boxwoods right behind it
in a few days- and it is- I would have bunch right into that thing- servile boy now we're just gonna, steer clear of it,
It is out of season and then
the tram preserve it, but a hornets nest or so cool. Looking in a just
we have one back there. We got a crazy backyard full of all kinds.
British. Does it look like a mummies head? Sometimes they looks it
so I guess so.
Mommy's head. But if it was an alien mummy consists of the white top heavy
and it looks like- has little mouth at the bottom. You know their little daughter ass. Any of it
Let's go here or I can just gone instagram like everybody else. Now you get text previous thanks man.
I wonder about the butterfly gardini water right yeah. Remember they like to drink minerals from puddles. So if you have a little bit of water,
dripping that
I a puddle in the soil. That's definitely going to europe.
For them to sign on a big
chuck. Is you want to use native plants?
I know you and Emily or like big into that, and I feel like people,
including myself, are really waking up to just
how bad first
local ecosystem, like non native plants, are
men to use native plants. Whenever you can, when you, when you
a butterfly garnets crucial, because
plants within the same species can be harmful to butterflies. Yet, and I have an example, if you will allow me sure,
Butterflies in florida in georgia and the south east in general, I think, are very, very keen on what's called butterfly weed.
I too am monarchs love. It's that very tiny
multi flowered orange flowered, we'd type, a milkweed gay
yeah, that's neat, I love. Yes,
There is another kind of milk. We called tropical milkweed that does just fine in florida in georgia, south east too, but it's not native
the problem with putting that in your butterfly garden in the southeast, is that it believes
solely in the season that
fires will keep reproducing an entire parts of the population will freeze to death because,
they ve gone beyond their natural reproductive window.
then. Furthermore, when the temperature drops little bit there more susceptible to specific kind of partisan parasite,
oh dear, oh yeah, I can't remember
that they wouldn't otherwise be if they were just on the native milk we rather than the tropical milkweed so like that,
how much attention you really should be paying to your butterfly going because you can inadvertently harm them while you're doing something you think is good for my pretty
I defy bush out there? Everybody think, like that's great, I'm going to put a verified bush out, and I can pretty much call myself gandhi from here on out guarantee the butterflies, but it turns out you're harming them. So it's definitely something that you need to take some research for but
the kind of research that is like in
invitation to go like immerse yourself in the natural world and all the best ways. Dear boy,
A butterfly wheat is beautiful. Yes, it is, and its native to georgia. So you just planet all you like.
You know what I'm going to go. Tell emily, like others, butterfly milkweeds me like it's right behind me right, but it's not only a food source. It's a it's like a place where monarchs lay their eggs, so you will have butterflies like living in your garden. I mean they'll fly to mexico eventually, but they'll hang out there for a while yeah
That's the cool thing about the butterfly garden too. If you, if you do
then you're, you're gonna have butterflies anew yard, and not only that,
butterflies are gonna like
word gets around and it'll become a place for butterfly, yet little become like a haven.
Butterflies, and they don't they. Don't. Generally, I mean the ones who migrate migrate, but other than that you could have. You could have butterflies families living their whole life back there in your backyard, yeah and speaking of backyards. I've got a backyard,
or part of my backyard, is
kind of while they keep it wild, like I don't know, a very often and there's lots of weeds and like little clovers and self growing, so
above all there for the beats, the birds and the bees and all that and the butterflies. But I'm good,
in full on man, I'm gonna, let oh yes, it's gonna, be letting all butterfly linked up to your hips, butterfly stuff,
I cannot go planet. It's I'm really looking forward to it.
Because it goes right up to the edge of some woods to so gonna be amazing.
Yeah, there's somethin. We really love like
make leaving green spaces and making it an invitation for animals. You know
I got my camp of their nor georgia and, like all
If north georgia is just being
down for neighborhoods, end and or anything. You know if you're a hunter, that's fine than that
thing I'm not into it, and we love that we have this acreage where we're dislike.
Will your dear buddies this
so you come to our land set up shop here.
No one would be shooting you and
spread. The word everybody we have. We have a safe space for
you critters out here, yes
except for humans, because it's also a most dangerous game type set up you gotta in their home,
alongside the regions.

I wonder if that has to do with blood types and diseases and in fact it was
oh wow yeah, so butterflies super useful super beautiful coca down your butterfly bush. Today,

That song is
I set it out loud and immediately the chorus popped into my. So I go over to listen to a later on spotify. I see that a ton of covers

Thank you. Guys may have had enough people searching owner of a lonely, hearts and merely vanilla close together, so that-
Algorithm associated those two thousand.
