Watch This Butterfly Feeder

If you adore butterflies….put out a butterfly feeder!  You can make your own nectar, much like hummingbird nectar.  Use 1 part sugar to 4 parts water, no brown sugar, syrup, or any other substitutes should be used.  Butterflies also love fruit…on the very ripe side.  Bananas, oranges, strawberries, and other over-ripe fruits are a real treat for them.  Something as simple as a kitchen plate, a shallow bird bath, or a tray feeder, placed in the sun, preferably near lots of bright flowers will attract these magnificent “flying flowers”
