I heard its good luck but not about getting married.

You need to do research of what butterflies are in your area. Find a butterfly book for your area – maybe one in a library. Then find out what plants they like. You can attract butterflies to your garden with good nectar plants and to keep butterflies longer in your garden, then plant caterpillar plants.

[Andrew]

No, they do not need water. They get what they need from the nectar for moisture. You may see them in mud puddles that are very shallow and it is the male butterflies that are gathering salts.

[Andrew]

I have never heard this one before (USA).

You can buy seeds at

[Andrew]

get sunflower seeds (oil kind) and plant pine trees.

hmm

reading lots of magazines, making plans for spring.

[Andrew]

flowers are important, but so are plants that the caterpillars can eat too. And they need sunny locations too.

[Andrew]

in the beginning it will scare them away but the will get used to it. It may also depend on the type of music you listen too… you look like a hard rock kind of guy… that’ll scare them away for good!

[Andrew]

look in the ditches out in the country side
