I think I read somewhere that the butterfly that lays the eggs only fly so high. (23"?)
Anyone know about this?
I'm thinking of planting high.

I doubt that's true, but that would maybe be the average height they would fly if the plants they prefer are planted in the ground when people see them.

I remember swinging at one with a badminton raquet above my head, and missing it too.

This netting would probably be the best way to keep them off.
