It's never too late to establish a butterfly bar. Actually insect bar would be a better name, since the stuff seems to attract also Hymenoptera (wasps, ants), Diptera (flies, male mosquitoes) and even longhorn beetles.
Here's the ingredients for what I use:
- 1 bottle (or more) of cheapest red wine
- about 1/5th balsamic winegar
- looots of sugar, preferably brown
- a packet of yeast (lots of this is a plus)
- all kinds of easily-fermenting stuff you can find (old fruits, white wine, beer etc.)
Mix them in a bowl, let stay for 2-3 days. When the fluid smells horrible, it's ready!
Bar can be established in several ways. I usually use dishcloth pieces, that can be left hanging on a branch and can be easily collected.
