Key to Symbols for the Migrants, Strays, Immigrants, and Pests (A) Introduced species (B) Butterflies that have a wide range and their known larval food source in south Florida is non‐native (I) Immigrants are species that have become established because their non‐native food source is abundant. (M) Migrant is a species that may be seen annually but is not established. (o) Occasionally breeds in Broward County (p) Species that is considered to be an agricultural pest (S) Strays are not part of the region’s normal fauna and are not seen most years but occasionally may become temporarily established. * Larval hosts of the Migrants, Strays, Immigrants, and Pests are not listed in order to discourage planting of non­native species and to impede their invasion of roadsides, canal banks, shorelines, natural areas, and parks.

Butterfly species whose larval hosts are unknown have been omitted.
