Re: Trees and habitat for the white and red admirals

Hullo again.When you say the white admiral won't nectar of most plants butterflies do,would it nectar off buddleia if needs must?I am assumimg that it does not nectar on any form of lonicera and this is solely the host plant for the caterpillars?Am I correct?Thanks again,LOIS
