A stunning Giant Swallowtail was recently seen enjoying the lush greenery at Deering Estate! As one of the largest butterfly species in South Florida, the Giant Swallowtail plays an essential role in maintaining healthy ecosystems and supporting native plant communities. This week, we’re proud to celebrate Pollinator Week, honoring the vital species that keep our environment thriving. The Swallowtail Butterfly has been recognized as Pollinator of the Year, making sightings like this even more special! Keep an eye out during Pollinator Week and join us for our next Guided Butterfly Walk on June 27th — you never know what amazing visitors you’ll find fluttering by! Want to make an impact? Through our Adopt‑a‑Pollinator Program at Deering Estate, you can directly support the protection of these important species and the habitats they depend on. Your contribution helps advance conservation, education, and restoration efforts that benefit pollinators all year long. For more information...
