Thats a great picture sir. I've noticed many species of butterflys aren't around anymore, or are far less in number. I remember as a kid in the 70's, swarms of them flying through our neighborhood (south Texas is a major flyway for migrating flyers). Now - not so much.
It's not only the butterflies that are disappearing. It seems as though there are a lot of different critters that are now quickly and silently disappearing...especially when compared with years past.
Loss of habitat due to urban expansion probably has a lot to do with it.
An expedient oxygen absorber for a 5 gallon storage container can be made by placing a golf ball size piece of steel wool and a tablespoon of salt inside a paper napkin and placing it in the container. The salt will absorb the residual moisture and the steel wool will naturally absorb the oxygen.

Make Your Own Electrolyte Beverage (Gatorade, Pedialyte, etc.)
To one quart of water add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 8 teaspoons of granulated sugar. Thoroughly mix all ingredients together.
This will replace electrolytes lost by the body due to dehydration caused by diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, etc. A package of Kool-Aid, Crystal Light, etc. may be added to enhance the flavor and color.
