I used fermented bananas last year (sometimes with beer mixed in, usually without) and the Hackberry and Tawny Emperors and QuestionMarks loved it. I also would occasionally splurge at Whole Foods and buy a small package of figs, which I would let rot and then put out for the butterflies. This is a great way for me to see the butterflies up close as, if I sit quietly near by, they will not pay any attention to me while they feed.
