Make a solution of 1 part table sugar to 3 part water: Use a small jar. Fill 1/4 of the jar with sugar, fill the rest with water. Shake it up.
Now, get a shallow bowl or dish. Put enough sugar water in the dish to coat the bottom. Put in a Kleenex tissue so that it's soaked with the solution.
Put the butterfly in bowl feet first. If you must, carefully unroll its proboscis with a thin pin and put it in the solution. Once drinking, it will do so on its own.
That all said, you should not keep monarch's as pets. They should be kept only as long as necessary and then released into the wild. Plus, the sugar water solution is an artificial diet.
