A gathering of Blues + 1 Skipper

Turkey

 

Butterflies primarily eat flower nectar, but they also consume:

tree sap and fruit juice.

 

Liquids from mud puddles, animal dung, and carrion for additional nutrients.

 

They use their proboscis to drink these liquids, which limits them to a liquid diet.

 

Some butterflies may prefer specific nectar-producing plants.

 

These food sources provide the energy and nutrition butterflies need for their life cycle.
