I want to do it on butterflies, preferably on their relationship to flowers.
I have to spend 30 hours working on a project relating to the research paper. Most likely, I will visit a butterfly garden, plant a gardens for butterflies, help a florist, etc.
Which of the following is the best option.

Aquatic Butterflies

One small event can lead to so much more than we intend or expect. There is a statement that once caught my attention that maintains, “When a butterfly flutters its wings in one part of the world, it can eventually cause a hurricane in another. A seemingly innocent act can have a very potent significance.

Hi,

It rather depends on where you live and the time of year. :confused:

Butterfly gardening can be simple or sophisticated http://www.thebutterflysite.com/gardening.shtml, http://www.allfreecrafts.com/nature/butterfly-gardening.shtml. :)

Butterflies in your area http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/map.

You might consider an indoor garden. :gw

Depending on your aim you may wish to purchase butterfly eggs http://www.ehow.com/how_5065604_purchase-butterfly-eggs.html. :)

You need to be aware of what is legal in your area and/or permits required http://butterflybreeders.com/public/release_matrix.html.

Anyway there are aquatic and bog oriented possibilities. :cool::cool:

All in all raising the butterflies here ensures the hurricanes happen elsewhere... :rolleyes:

In the winter?

If you live somewhere warmer....maybe.

Might chose something that's available where you are at.
