🦋🌼 Spotted: A Gulf fritillary butterfly enjoying a snack on Bidens alba!
These vibrant orange pollinators love Florida’s native wildflowers — and Bidens alba is one of their favorites. This hardy plant isn’t just beautiful; it’s a pollinator powerhouse that supports butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects.
At the St. Johns River Water Management District, we manage natural lands to protect vital habitats like this — where native wildflowers thrive and butterflies can flourish. Every bloom plays a role in a healthy ecosystem! 🌿💧
📸 Next time you’re out on District lands, keep an eye out for these fluttering beauties! Learn more about where you can explore
