https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50xGa0rQ3s4 LOL! I set out some leftover watermelon to see if it would attract any butterflies... Well? It did and yellow jackets and wasps and ants, too! This image has been rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise. My neck was having a hard time looking at it sideways!
Beautiful capture! Never thought of watermelon! btw...you're supposed to place bait so YOU don't have to hang upside down! lol Beautiful colours in this butterfly!
Yes! It makes a great bait ... how beautiful this is! Love the softness and beautiful color tones. Reminds me of a hot, lazy summer afternoon. Picnic time for everyone ... including the insects!
oh, that is such a great idea! I have not been able to capture a butterfly yet this summer...and have really not seen that many around...I will try this!!! great idea and a GREAT shot!
Thank you so very much for your kind and lovely comments! I really appreciate every single word each of you wrote and the time it took you to do it! Grateful for your support, as always!
@shannew Thank you! Really appreciate your time to view and comment on my pic!
@myautofocuslife Thank you for your lovely comments, Livia! I think any juicy fruit will attract them. They may not stay still, but at least they stay in a small area and are easier to shoot than trying to follow them around on flowers. LOL!
Maggie, you know I simply must fav this one! This is one of these 'to die for' photos ;-) Maybe I need to get some watermelon to attract butterflies.....ooops I forgot about our squirrels. They watch every move I make ;-) Everything about this shot is perfect...what more can I say?
@cimes1 Wow! Thank you for your sweet comments and the fav, Carole! You are too kind! I actually think any sweet and juicy fruit will attract them! I've seen it done with mandarin orange slices that someone here posted a while back. I just thought watermelon might work, too!

@glimpses Thank you so much, Leslie! Appreciate your time to view and comment on my pic! Thank you for the follow, too! I will return the honor shortly. LOL! Feel free, but I cannot take the credit. I saw some 365er post a pic of a bowl full of mandarin oranges and it was covered with butterfiles. So, I thought maybe any juicy fruit would work. =)
