Watch your step! There may be busy butterflies just below your feet. In the spring, we commonly see butterflies 'mud-puddling', or flocking to wet, muddy trails and roadsides. These insects are collecting liquid from puddles to obtain important nutrients, which are vital to their health and reproduction. Help protect Yosemite's pollinators and step with care. | Yosemite National Park

These opportunistic feedings supplement their normal nectar diet with additional nutrients. | The Xerces Society

We love a good party... a puddle party that is! These eastern swallowtail butterflies are mud-puddling, a behavior used primarily by males in order to ingest salts and amino acids to boost fertility.
