Back in February I was trying to attract some Butterflies that I haven’t had visit before. I read about some Butterflies being attracted to rotten fruit and at the same time our Lemon tree was just starting to bloom some flowers and I thought I’d give the Honeybees some extra sugar. Since I had some grapes that were going soft I decided to put them out in one of our Bird Baths. Within the first day, it was pretty obvious that the Honeybees were thrilled to have another source of nectar besides our Lemon tree, but then one day I captured this Butterfly.
It’s a Butterfly called a Question Mark. I kept putting out more and more grapes for a period of weeks, but never attracted too many more Butterflies. I continually attracted lots of Honeybees (which I don’t mind with all the fruit trees in our yard that need pollinating), but then it also started to attract those Red Wasps.
