5 FOODS BUTTERFLIES CAN EAT

Turn your birdbath into a Butterfly Feeding Bowl

Adult butterflies mainly eat flower nectar. They can also find sources of nectar from vegetables, herbs, and fruit blossoms. Butterflies may also get energy from eating fruit juice, sugar water, tree sap, fungi, and organic matter from animals.

No special preparation with these foods, except for slicing them and placing them in one of our birdbaths/feeders. In no time, you will have butterflies coming to grace your yard. Butterflies will use their long tongues to get the last sweet juices out. Now sit back and ENJOY!

1. Watermelon Rind
2. Orange Peels (with a little water to draw out the juice)
3. Lemon Peels
4. Overripe Banana peeled
5. Softened Carrots

To turn your birdbath into a Butterfly drinking station, just add a little water and pebbles for them to stand on while they drink
