Nice job Peggy- It looks so nice in that spot! Male butterflies will seek moist places searching for the minerals that their bodies need for reproduction. This behavior is called "puddling"- so allowing for a patch of wet, bare soil is a good addition to the garden. Some varieties of butterflies feed on decaying fruit, and some even on "scat"-poop

"My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird — equal seekers of sweetness. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." — Mary Oliver, from Messenger
