Rewilding My Lot

Converting a new developer lot into a nature ecosystem — my journey

Phaon Crescent

Frogfruit (Phyla nodiflora) is the host plant for Phaon Crescent (Phyciodes phaon) butterflies. For several weeks I have been seeing many of these small butterflies, although I haven’t spotted any caterpillars yet.

There are nibbles on Frogfruit leaves, however. Maybe caterpillars are doing that?

This butterfly also visits other nearby plants, although in this case on the Texas Mountain Laurel there is currently no nectar to eat so it’s probably just resting.

About Me

Nature Lover.
Inquisitive Observer.
Student Gardener.

I invite you to join me on my journey to convert my sterile (from a nature point of view) new house lot to a healthy and diverse ecosystem, as I make discoveries, mistakes, and hopefully progress. I am not an expert or professional. The project started in February 2023 and the location is Seguin, Texas, USA.
