I like that this feeder was designed by scientists who study butterflies. It is very clever. A bit difficult to figure out how to put together the first time, but after that, a snap. I only wish I knew if it worked. I have a butterfly visit daily (it has not drawn any new ones) and he is not fooled - he only inspects the real flowers. The wasps and bees will drink from it and the flies love the bananas. (Yes, you can put over-ripe bananas on it.)
My only complaint is that the quality of the red plastic is very poor, It fades very easily in the sun and looses it's appeal. It's also a fair amount of work to clean it and only fresh feed can be used in it.

Tips for Attracting Butterflies
- Do not use chemical pesticides, fertilizers, or herbicides anywhere near your butterfly garden. While they may kill off unwanted pests, they are also detrimental to the butterflies you are asking to visit and are disruptive to other species in the habitat.
- Build a butterfly habitat by adding a variety of native flowering and fruiting plants. Make sure that you have continuous blooms of flowers throughout the seasons to provide food.
- Create a butterfly puddler using a small shallow container, sand, or soil and a few small rocks for perching. Moisten the soil and sprinkle it with salt. Not only do puddlers provide a place for butterflies to relax, they also gather some key nutrients from the soil.
- Provide a place for butterflies to hide from predators and stay cozy. Butterflies like to hide in small nooks and cracks. Butterfly houses are a great way to help support your fluttering residents.

Good for bees. Butterflies? Not so much
1 star for butterfly attraction, 5 stars for bees.Let me start by saying I already have a yard full of butterflies, bees, and hummers. I thought this would be a nice “free lunch” for butterflies. They couldn’t care less about it. The hummers took a little interest in the beginning, but honey bees took over in the end. Giving it 3 stars because feeding honey bees is a good thing! If you want butterflies in your yard, plant native host plants! (Milkweed, Passion flower etc.)
