Easy
Butterfly Puddle
Finished (Vintage Plate, red n green glass nuggets used to make flower design, 2 clear vases glued together n plate attached,)
Butterfly Puddle
Fill the bottom with a little sand for butterflies to land on
Add enough water to make the sand moist.
Sweet drink can be substituted for water.
Find a spot in full sun.
Put approximately 1 tablespoon of composted manure in the sand.
A pinch of salt may also be added; butterflies require additional sodium when mating.
Occasionally, a piece of rotting or overripe fruit should be added to the puddle. The fruit contains amino acids that butterflies require.
