Before the flowers started blooming this spring, several butterflies (especially Red Admirals) were moving through the area. Knowing they have a fondness for rotting fruit, I made a 'mash' of black bananas, brown sugar, and dark beer. I let it ferment overnight (uncovered so it doesn't explode). It turned into the local pub! In fact, that one in the back looks like it might be staggering off to an AA meeting...
Now the spring blooms are coming on, and I'd love to see what butterflies are visiting your gardens. Post some photos! Please!

"Local pub" Hilarious! Love that! They're so pretty.

There's an ongoing thread started for butterflies where some people just look at their "watched" threads. More people will see your picture, if you want to post it over here: The thread "April 2016 Butterflies, Moths & Larva" in Gardening for Butterflies, Birds and Bees forum

I'm sure they will love seeing your local pub too. Smiling
