Glad I'm here to entertain! I am feeling better today. Probably more so because the 7th of the month is when I do grant reporting (I'm an accountant) and the thought of my boss trying to do it without me has had me laughing all day.

We sell a butterfly feeder at the museum and for a while we had one in the flight cage. It has little sponges for the liquid so I imagine hummies wouldn't want to stick their tongue in it. Butterflies seem to prefer real nectar - although, when I was in the butterfly tent at USF they let us feed the butterflies with Q-tips soaked in Gatorade.
