"The butterflies gather to “puddle,” or absorb minerals and salts from the soil. Sandy lanes and lakeside beaches attract large numbers of butterflies on these hot summer days. Chances are, you know of your own Butterfly Road. Gravel or sand roads in the northwoods are prime spots to check for puddling butterflies."

Butterflies gather on gravel, sand roads
