All About Butterflies
Episode 40
Wednesday, 9 September, 2026
Master Gardener Emily Clem talks with Regional Extension Agent, Allyson Schabel, about the life cycle of butterflies. They discuss different species, their host plants, and how to attract more butterflies to your garden. Common butterflies in the Southeast include swallowtails, brush-footed, sulphurs, and skippers. Peak season to see butterflies starts in late summer and continues through the fall as species like the monarchs migrate to warmer climates. Allyson references the Alabama Butterfly Atlas as a great resource for distribution, maps, photographs, gardening tips, flight charts, and more—all specific to Alabama.
