 I'd cut up some old cherries and put them in a shallow bowl for butterfly bait. A downpour made them into a deadly cherry soup. Overcast skies. No polarizer, obviously. Very little PP.

I should add that for me - only one butterfly, a mourning cloak, was attracted with this fruitbait method. For attracting yellowjackets though, it was excellent :0

Nope no white layer - it's all skanky water on a cloudy day ;-) Thanks !

I mean the death is part, not the butterfly bait.

I have some old cherries I was going to throw away. I think I might make butterfly bait too.

Is that a horse fly? Looks kind of creepy entombed like he is. Great image.

Oh yeah, don't eat the cherries, fly should be sweet though... mmm
