Butterflies on property
Butterflies are seasonal! Each season presents it's own combination of butterflies on the property. Your lawn is not filled with weeds!!!! It's filled with an ECOSYSTEM. The more you mow this yard.... the more you chase away the butterflies and wildlife.
Consider not mowing in the Fall. Also consider mowing alternately between the front and back yard to retain some of those flowers (some call weeds) as food for the butterflies.
