On the East Coast we have only one species of nectar feeding bird, the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird. Therefore, to attract bright flashes of moving color to our gardens, we look to the butterflies. Butterflies are nectar-feeders; their long coiled tongues unroll to reach the nectar reward provided by the plant.
