Butterfly Banana Feeder Purpose and benefit: Attract and feed butterflies by providing a simple source of very ripe banana in a decorative hanging feeder. Design and materials: A copper vine with two clusters of red berries forms a cradle to hang the banana, creating an attractive garden accent. How it works: The feeder is designed to hold a ripened banana. Butterflies feed on very ripe bananas. Key considerations: Unripe bananas are not ideal for this feeder; they shrink as they ripen and may attract a variety of other insects. For results, use in a garden setting, not on a porch, deck, or patio. Use scenarios: Install in a garden flower border to draw butterflies through your outdoor space. Place near a pond or water feature to create a small butterfly viewing area. Use in a greenhouse or conservatory to encourage butterfly visits among potted plants. Specifications overview: Holds one ripened banana. Material: copper vine with two clusters of red berries.
