Our local newspaper "South Florida Sun-Sentinel" on May 25, 2005 published the following story.
Bugged: Six-year old Elizabeth Gee fixes a butterfly in her line of sight Tuesday during the Butterfly Show in Cincinnati, Ohio. The show features more than 10,000 butterflies, with more than 1,000 being released into the Krohn Conservatory each week. Attendants use Gatorade to attract the insects.
Hmmm... Gatorade! I always wondered what they used to get butterflies to land on them. Now we all know.
The show is at Krohn Conservatory in Eden Park and runs through June 19th. For more information;
