Butterflies and Pests for Las Vegas Garden Plants

For Nevada butterflies, see thebutterflysite.com/nevada-butterflies.shtml. Petunias, dahlias, and tomatoes have pests (aphids on dahlias, Japanese beetles, slugs) but natural predators usually control them — don't spray. Any pesticide kills butterflies too. If pests explode, release ladybugs or mantids. Slugs are unlikely in dry Nevada.
