1
Take a paper plate and make small four holes evenly spaced around the rim.
2
Thread a length of string through each hole, knot underneath and tie together.
3
Check your fruit bowl for any over-ripe fruit – bananas are particularly good.
4
Load up the plate and hang in a tree or bush, and watch to see if any butterflies come to feed.
