Butterflies eat nectar from flowers. If you were looking to feed some, you could mix 1cup sugar with 2 1/2 cups boiling water. wait till it cools, and soak a sponge in it. you can set the sponge outside. If you want to see more butter flies around your garden (if u have one) u can plant a butterfly bush. :-)
