Linda,

Sorry...my computer was in sick bay :o) finally got it back today!

CONGRATS!!! On your Malachite(s)!!! Yes, they come quickly to butterfly brew as well as oranges, tangerines and other sweet fruits. Put your brew or fruit in a lightly shaded spot. Although they will come out into the bright sunlight they seem to prefer to hang around in the shady areas.

Hopefully you'll get to photograph one!!!

ps...they also enjoy checking out scat :o) ...like I told that a kid who was all thrilled that a malachite landed on his lollipop - you just never know where those butterfly feet have been!

...here's a photo of two Malachites and a Mexican Bluewing enjoying butterfly brew last weekend.
