    I cleaned and refilled the feeder yesterday because here in South
    Carolina there are some hummers that hang out year round:

    This butterfly keeps coming back to sip from the feeder:

    It happens occasionally. At one point a hummingbird (female ruby
    throat) was sipping from the other side at the same time as the
    butterfly (fritillary) but of course she flew off before I could snap
    the pic of the two of them sipping at the same time.
