if keeping butterflies more than 24 hours you can feed them cut nectar flowers, orange/watermelon slices or
Place cotton balls/cotton swabs soaked in gatorade, juicy juice, hummingbird nectar, honey water (9 parts water to 1 part honey or sugar water (9 parts water to 1 part sugar) on the mesh cage roof so butterflies can feed hanging from inside
Don’t worry if butterflies go on a hunger strike…they will eventually eat when they are hungry enough or after they are finally released.
