OK,THIS IS VERY EASY |
|
Find a shallow pan(a old pie tin works)that has not had any oil of any kind in it.Place CLEAN small rocks or gravel,in the pan.Ok,that was the hard part ;).Now,put it somewhere near your butterfly house,in the shade and near flowers.Fill with water,almost to the tops of the rocks.Change the water every day or 2.Thats it! |

ADVANCED WATERING |
|
Some species of butterflies,will not drink any open water,they get it from the nectar and dew from the flowers.But you can still help them out :).Get a pan ,just like above and fill it with clean sand(note:I use playsand,or sand that is made for use in fish tanks).Pour water into the sand intell it is wet,but with no water on top of the sand.You MUST!! change the water and sand every 2 or 3 days.The easy way to do this,is to have 2 pans of sand.When it's time to change it out,put the second pan and water in the same place.Take the frist pan,and empty it on to a tin foil,and let it dry.You see where this is going?;)When it is time to change it again,reuse the old sand.Another hint: after a rain,you can just drain the extra water out of it. |
