Hi Everyone!
A while back I started a thread here on pictures I had taken at the Key West Butterfly Conservatory. Pajarito, a Dave's Garden Member posted a picture of a butterfly feeder she had photographed at a butterfly attraction in Mass. I enclosed the picture below. This picture was taken by Pajarito, not me.
In the picture they use a cheap plastic champagne glass you can pick up at any party supply store.

I had asked her about the feeders and here is her reply.
"Now, about those feeders: All it is is a bamboo pole with a plactic champagne class (with the bottom removed) and a kitchen scrubbie( you know, the plastic mesh things) in the glass. Then the glass is filled with sugar water (4 parts water to 1 part sugar). Here's a better shot of one." I am not commenting on the recipe they used, just pointing out the neat feeder they used.

By the way, the link to the pictures at the Key West Butterfly Conservatory is http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/509700/ There are lots and lots of neat butterflies pictured and identified with her help. Many of the butterflies are not common and have unusual colorations.
