The sponge that comes with your Butterfly Feeder was harvested from the bottom floor of the Gulf of Mexico
off the coast of a small Greek village called Tarpon Springs located on the west coast of central Florida.
I personally hand select, clean & sanitize every sponge by hand.
All you need to do to attract butterflies is add a sugar
water mixture inside the container. Mix 4 parts water
- 1 part sugar. Some folks even use fruit punch
Gatorade, either one will do just fine. You will want to boil your sugar water mixture
for 3 - 5 minutes, stirring occasionally
(this will break down the granular sugar). |

Add the sugar water mixture (about 1/2 cup) every
3 - 4 days as needed, take your sponge out of the container about once a week and rinse
it with fresh water
under your kitchen sink. If you experience any ant problems just put about 2 inches of
petroleum jelly directly
on the rod where the rod meets the container.
We have hummingbirds that visit our feeders as well every year.
