A butterfly feeder is very similar to a bird feeder, but not quite as big or expensive. These feeders can be bought in many different forms and styles to accommodate your needsor the specific type of butterflies living in your area.

If you are looking for a way to take care of the butterflies in your yard, a butterfly feeder is a great place to start. A butterfly feeder can be bought at any nature store. These stores often carry many different designs to suit everyone's budget. You can choose from a small plastic feeder that will cost only ten dollars, or you can splurge for a larger wooden feeder that can cost well over a hundred dollars.

These feeders come in designs that either hang from a tree or simply set on a table or wall. Again, it is a matter of preference on which one to buy. They will both do the job in attracting and feeding butterflies.

If you are the creative type, you should look into building your own butterfly feeder. There are many plans available online that should be able to get you started. You may also want to go to a nature store and check a couple of them out in person. This will give you an idea of what the feeders look like, and what they are made out of. A butterfly feeder is not difficult to construct. You just want to make sure that you use the right material, and keep it safe for the butterfly. Building a butterfly feeder is also a great project for kids. If you have little kids, include them in this project. It will teach them to respect nature, as well as develop their creative side.

Overall, a butterfly feeder is an inexpensive investment that will go a long way in attracting beautiful butterflies to your yard.
