Butterflies!!!

[wildorchid053]

has anyone looked at .... insectlore.com? they have all sorts of things to raise from eggs..

I like their site, but they're rather expensive compared to some others...

Right now, I'm trying to find a good butterfly nectar recipe that can be used for their lifetime. It's not going over so well... I'm mostly finding sugar water recipes or people saying to give fruit to keep them alive for a few days before release.

Once I get some milkweed started, I'll be ordering my eggs. I got shipping information today.

As for the nectar, watermelon juice is supposed to work. I'm going to check out some nutrition information and see if I can make a juice cocktail for them to try to cover as many vitamins/minerals as possible.
