The first Saturday in June has been declared Butterfly Education and Awareness Day, or BEAD (for those in the know). What is it about butterflies that so enamors us? Surely these are beautiful animals—symbols of nature, beauty, freedom, and peace. But, as the saying goes, beauty is only skin (or in this case wing) deep. But what else is important about the butterfly?
Along with bees and flies, butterflies are the world’s greatest pollinators. More than 75% of the world’s flowering plants depend on pollinators in order to reproduce. Pollinators are responsible for supplying 33% of the world’s supply of food and drink. That’s right—without pollinators, we lose one-third of our food supply. It is no coincidence that June 15–21 is World Pollinator Week, a nod to all those hard-working insects and animals that bring us apples, blueberries, almonds, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, and coffee, just to name a few.
Delicate butterflies are also indicator species. This means that the health of a butterfly population can tell us a great deal about the health of an entire ecosystem. Butterflies are so sensitive to their environment that the addition of a harmful chemical to the air, pollution in the water, a slight change in temperature, or the loss of habitat will dramatically affect an entire butterfly population. This allows humans to monitor the health of our surroundings.
Whether we marvel at the 3,000-mile migration of the monarch butterfly from New England to Mexico, delight at the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly, or draw inspiration from the beautiful and varied patterns of butterfly wings, let us also not forget the importance of these marvelous insects. Plant flowers, trees, and shrubs that attract butterflies to your garden—and we can all reap the benefits.

Work’s Best Friends?!
Though June 24 is widely celebrated as Take Your Dog to Work Day, not every workplace is welcoming to our furry companions. Then again, large companies like Proctor & Gamble, Amazon, and Google allow pets in the office year-round. Why? Pets in the office have been proven to boost morale and lower stress. Bringing your dog—or cat, bird, fish, hamster, or any other pet—makes many people healthier and happier at work.
Companies can make bringing animals to work easier for everyone by making work pet-friendly. Parks or grassy areas give dogs a place to relieve themselves. Some offices even provide special dog water fountains and free biscuits. Owners also have to remember to bring their dog leashes, treats, beds, and bowls. Of course, not every dog is meant for the workplace. Poorly trained or barking pooches might have to stay at home. On the other hand, bringing your dog to the office might be good for your dog’s health too. Perhaps a nine-to-five routine is just what the veterinarian ordered.
