To Vannah and Ryan Wink of
Cottage Grove, a son.
To Nikole Dozier and Deron
Davenport of Cottage Grove, a
F
ragile, beautiful and fas-
cinating, butterfl ies fl utter
their way into our gardens and
seem to just as quickly wing
their way out.
It isn’t because they necessar-
ily want to leave, said Heather
Stoven, an entomologist with
the Oregon State University
Extension Service. Rather, they
don’t fi nd what they need to
park themselves permanently.
As detailed in Extension’s
publication The Wildlife Gar-
den: How to Create a Butterfl y
Garden, butterfl ies require spe-
cifi c room and board to have
their needs met. As with all
wildlife, shelter, water and food
are a given, but for butterfl ies,
the range of repast is more lim-
ited.
When butterfl ies change from
egg to larvae, or caterpillar, they
come out ravenous and with
chewing mouthparts, two things
that set them up to damage
plants, a condition gardeners
must tolerate or forgo butterfl ies
except in the most ephemeral
way.
Fortunately for the gardener
– not at all fortunate for the but-

were married July 12, 1944
in Long Beach, California.
The couple have lived in
Cottage Grove for over
22 years. Dick worked in
transportation and Betty was
a homemaker. They have
two daughters, Mary and

terfl y – only a few plants qualify
as nutrition for the caterpillar,
sometimes just one. These host
plants must be present, Stoven
pointed out, or the caterpillars
starve to death.
