Butterflies Drinking


We went over to the river today and spotted a bunch of butterflies drinking water. I did a little research and found out that they were "puddling".


Butterflies often congregate on wet sand and mud to partake in "puddling," drinking water and extracting minerals from damp puddles.


They were pretty fun to watch.
