ABSTRACT:
A feeder with a food protection grid for butterflies and moths is described. The feeder includes a solid core on which food may be placed. A protective screen or mesh overlays and protects the core and the food secured thereon from consumption by various insects and small animals. The feeding grid has a plurality of openings therethrough which are of an appropriate size to permit a butterfly or moth to reach the food source with its proboscis. The feeder may be hung from an overhead support and a crawling insect guard can be included to prevent small crawling insects such as ants and the like from reaching the protective grid and the food source when the feeder is hung from a tree or the like.
