Changing the World one Book at a Time. Exploring Nature Educational Resource. Activity Butterflies feed on the flower nectar of certain plants.
You can plant these plants in your garden and attract a lot of visiting butterflies. You might also plant some plants that the butterflies’ caterpillars like to eat. The butterflies will then lay their eggs on those plants and their caterpillars will hatch out and they will feed on your flowers. They are rather interesting to look at themselves. What To Plant 1) Different species of butterflies will be attracted to different plants according to their taste in nectar or even flower color. 2) Also try to plant things that will bloom all summer long so your butterflies will have food all season. 3) Butterflies are attracted to groups of flowers, so be sure and plant more than one flower in any area. 4) They also like puddles of water. 6) Here are some specific flowers that butterflies and their caterpillars like to eat.

Compare and Contrast Article | Journal How are the monarch and viceroy similar and different? Monarch or Viceroy? Viceroy butterflies look like monarchs to the untrained observer.
How can you be sure which species you're seeing? Wings The coloring and pattern of monarch and viceroy wings look nearly identical. However, a viceroy has a black line crossing the postmedian hindwing. Size Viceroys are smaller than monarchs, although this size difference may be difficult to see in the field. Comparing wingspans: Viceroy: 2 1/2 - 3 3/8 inches (6.3 - 8.6 cm). Flight Viceroy flight is faster and more erratic.
Timing Viceroys do not migrate. You will not see an adult viceroy where you live until about 15 days after willow or poplar leaves have emerged. Less nitrogen leaching with new plant fertilizer - Swedish Cleantech. Swetree Technologies is a forestry biotech company that specializes in developing and commercializing products and technology to boost forestry production, tree processing, fibre modification and new materials based on cellulose.
The company’s arginine-based product, Argrow, has been shown to have several environmental and biological advantages. Argrow developed out of an environmental project at a nursery for forest trees in 2001. Studies at the nursery showed that arginine is effectively bound to the crop, which reduces the leaching of nitrogen by 40–95 per cent when it rains. This strong binding also means that the total fertilizer required for plant cultivation decreases by 25–30 per cent. Better plant quality The first large-scale cultivation with Argrow was in 2006. Energy options: pros and cons. How Oil Refining Works" The oil refining process starts with a fractional distillation column.
The problem with crude oil is that it contains hundreds of different types of hydrocarbons all mixed together. You have to separate the different types of hydrocarbons to have anything useful. Fortunately there is an easy way to separate things, and this is what oil refining is all about. Different hydrocarbon chain lengths all have progressively higher boiling points, so they can all be separated by distillation. This is what happens in an oil refinery - in one part of the process, crude oil is heated and the different chains are pulled out by their vaporization temperatures. To understand the diversity contained in crude oil, and to understand why refining crude oil is so important in our society, look through the following list of products that come from crude oil: Petroleum gas - used for heating, cooking, making plastics.
