You've captured it mud-puddling, nice one.

Ohhh!! They like playing in mud? I have such fun watching so many insects in my garden and their dirt/mud antics! I didn't know butterflies did it too!

Absolutely, mud is a great resource for butterflies - they get a combination of things they need like moisture, nutrients, salts etc.

Wow! That's amazing! Thank you! My street is planting a butterfly garden in the local park in the coming month and I'll let them know. Amazing!
