Last May I was mixing soils to do some planting and accidentally spilled a bag of manure compost on our gravel driveway. My gravel driveway always attracts butters after a rain, but the next day when I went to clean up the spill I found 8 Tiger Swallowtails puddling on it. Needless to say, I never cleaned up the spill. And manure compost doesn't stink.
I think the little 'bog' with mud and manure compost.....maybe a little sand.....will do the trick. Keep it moist but not wet. Maybe add a few little 'stepping stones' in the mud mixture.
Here's a pic of the manure compost spill with 8 Tigers.......
