Plants That Attract Butterflies Butterflies are attracted to plants to feed or to lay eggs. Flowers such as asters and gailardia are the favorite food of Skipper in the autumn. Plants such as butterfly weed are fed on by caterpillars. This family of plants is the sole food source of Monarch Butterfly caterpillars. All members of the cabbage family will attract the cabbage moth, which is actually a small white or yellow butterfly. The green caterpillars feed on cabbage. |
