In my quest to find out which native plants are host plants for butterflies, I found out one of them is Desert Mistletoe. When I saw a photo of the butterfly that uses it for a host, I realized I photographed one of them last year without realizing what it was!
I brought up the image; looked closer at the branch he was sitting on and darned if there weren’t sprigs of Desert Mistletoe. Pretty cool 🙂 Here’s a closer shot of the Desert Mistletoe sprigs. It’s on a Foothill Palo Verde.
