Butterflies eat nectar from flowers. If you were looking to feed some, you could mix 1cup sugar with 2 1/2 cups boiling water. wait till it cools, and soak a sponge in it. you can set the sponge outside. If you want to see more butter flies around your garden (if u have one) u can plant a butterfly bush. :-)
Nectar is the food for butterflies that can be found in honey. Butterflies visit flowering plants because they are primarily nectar-sippers and secondarily pollen-spreaders. Bees wend their way to flowering plants as nectar-collectors and pollen-dispersers and gatherers for subsequent processing and using, for instance, as bee bread, at their colonies.
