To attract butterflies in your wildlife habitat you must use native plants that grow naturally in your own area. You simply set up an ecosystem that is sustainable, provides flowering plants, and maintains itself. This is not as hard as it sounds, and it will be a very nice area for you to relax in!
One of the biggest off-puts to butterflies are lawns, driveways, and large open spaces. The more opportunistic bird species like these conditions, but butterflies do not. They like edges, where they can get some sunlight, flowers and insects for food, and water not too far away.
Most of all they like to be close to dense shrubs where they can hide if a threat appears.
They especially like to have flowers to sip nectar from, not too close to the ground, and in the sun, and they like to rest in the sun as well. It’s not that hard to set up a small backyard or balcony butterfly sanctuary, and it can be done over several planting seasons.

Australian Butterflies!
Australia and her remote Islands have over 400 species of butterflies most of which occur in the tropical areas.
Many are still undescribed. We do not have a particullarly rich butterfly fauna by world standards, but more than half of our butterflies are found nowhere else in the World.
Many of our butterflies are very beautiful.
