What kind of fruit can my butterflies eat?Updated 7 months ago

Butterflies love a variety of fruits, but they especially enjoy small slices of the following: 

  • Banana
  • Orange 
  • Apples
  • Watermelon
  • Strawberries

When you are slicing up the fruit for your butterfly, score the surface of the fruit with a knife to bring the juices to the surface. That will make it easier for your butterflies to drink. Be sure to replace the fruit each day.
