Throughout this book you will notice references to “Barnes,” which refer to Thomas G. Barnes, Attracting Butterflies with Native Plants (Online Publications) http://www.ca.uky.edu/agc/pubs/for/for98/for98.htm.

We obtained most of the information about mammalian preferences for specific plants from Dr. John Hilty’s website Illinois Wildflowers, http://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/, which, along with other excellent sources, provided much pollinator, butterfly, and other insect data.

And, finally, we are grateful to all our friends for encouraging us in the creation of this book.
