Butterflies




Metamorphosis of butterflies and moths is one of the mysteries of Nature. The ability of these insects to change from the crawling caterpillar to the flying adult is almost magical. 
Many people are so awe inspired by the metamorphosis that they believe that butterflies and moths could never have evolved over millions of years without a God behind it. 



Butterflies

Butterflies are beautiful things
Fluttering through the air on gossamer wings.
Flirting with the blossoms of nature's bouquet,
Telling the world everything is okay.




Make Your Own Butterfly Nectar

Making butterfly nectar at home is easy! All you need to do is mix 1 scoop powdered orange Gatorade with 2 quarts of water. Mix thoroughly and pour desired amount into a shallow plastic dish. Place an absorbent material inside the dish such as a brand new plastic kitchen scrubber. This will create a place for the butterflies to land! Pieces of rotting fruit such as bananas, grapes, and apples may be added to the mixture, but beware, this can attract unwanted pests such as ants and wasps as well!


Feeders may be placed by flowers in a garden, and the solution should be changed daily. Extra mixture should be refrigerated in a tightly sealed container until next use
