作者: 李明娟

Butterflies in India migrate1 twice a year. Their journey is getting harderand harder. One way to help butterflies is to make safe spaces for them to stopand have a good meal. Here’s how to make a butterfly rest station:

Find a flat vessel2 with high edges3, like a plate.

△Butterflies love bright colours. Paint the vessel red, yellow, or orange.

△Fill the vessel with butterfly food. It’s easy to make! Mix four cups ofwater with one cup of sugar4.

△Add pieces of over ripe5 fruit. Butterflies love bananas, guavas, mangoes,papayas, and oranges.

△Keep the vessel out on your veranda6, windowsill7, or anywhere outside.

△Clean and refill8 the vessel every two to three days.

△To attract9 even more butterflies, plant flowers that butterflies love.

印度的蝴蝶每年迁徙两次,它们的旅程越来越艰难。帮助蝴蝶的一种方法是给它们留出安全的空间,让它们能停下来好好进食。以下是建一个蝴蝶休息站的办法:△找一个边缘高的扁平容器,比如盘子。

△蝴蝶喜欢鲜艳的颜色。将容器涂成红色、黄色或橙色。

△将容器装满蝴蝶的食物。这很容易做!将四杯水和一杯糖混合即可。

△加几片熟透的水果。蝴蝶喜欢香蕉、番石榴、芒果、木瓜和橙子。

△把容器放在阳台、窗台或外面的任何地方。

△每两到三天清洗一次容器并重新补充(食物)。

△为了吸引更多的蝴蝶,可以种一些蝴蝶喜爱的花朵。
