Explanation:
Organisms choose the habitat based on the availability of basic requirements such as food, nutrients, space, etc. in the region. The absence of one or more of these factors makes them choose another habitat. Butterflies feed on nectar made by plants in their flowers. To make the butterflies stay in the landscape, flowering plants adapted to local conditions should be planted. The butterflies would feed on the nectar of these plants and would stay in the landscape.
