I recently picked up a macro lens which led me to explore and discover a host of interesting critters despite the limited opportunity, such as dragonflies, orb weavers, etc. This has led me to the idea of of adding a bird feeder, and plants to attract insects that may make good subjects for photography, such as butterflies. Was hoping to tap into the collective experience here on the do's and don'ts of adding a bird feeder, suggestions on plants to add to attract butterflies, and any other tips to attract winged and crawling subjects for photography. I've done my homework on Google, but was looking for specific advice from a photographer's standpoint. Thanks in advance!</blockquote>
