RE: Butterfly mineral lick

A*

Hi, John!

>This is a butterfly attractant.  

Good heavens -- I think putting it together would attract the neighborhood!
Can't see getting the little kids to mix this stuff together -- their
parents would drink it down before we could attract any butterflies!  Might
be nice to mix it up beforehand and let the kids put up the sponges.

Anyone do the more traditional mineral lick?
