Hi,

Just some more info on use of the butterfly recipe. Some moths such as underwings and stag beetles also like this mixture. One variation is to use molasses instead of the sugar. If you want to try for the beetles and moths, paint it on the bark of trees from ground level to about 3 feet. Do this at dusk and then check the trees several hours later with a lantern or flashlight.

I have not heard of any drunk sapsuckers from this. :')

Best wishes,
Ron McCluskey

One of the leaders gave us a recipe for a mixture that butterflies love.
