Butterflies in India migrate1 twice a year. Their journey is getting harderand harder. One way to help butterflies is to make safe spaces for them to stopand have a good meal. Heres how to make a butterfly rest station：

Find a flat vessel2 with high edges3， like a plate.

△Butterflies love bright colours. Paint the vessel red， yellow， or orange.

△Fill the vessel with butterfly food. Its easy to make！ Mix four cups ofwater with one cup of sugar4.

△Add pieces of over ripe5 fruit. Butterflies love bananas， guavas， mangoes，papayas， and oranges.

△Keep the vessel out on your veranda6， windowsill7， or anywhere outside.

△Clean and refill8 the vessel every two to three days.

印度的蝴蝶每年遷徙两次，它们的旅程越来越艰难。帮助蝴蝶的一种方法是给它们留出安全的空间，让它们能停下来好好进食。以下是建一个蝴蝶休息站的办法：△找一个边缘高的扁平容器，比如盘子。

△蝴蝶喜欢鲜艳的颜色。将容器涂成红色、黄色或橙色。

△将容器装满蝴蝶的食物。这很容易做！将四杯水和一杯糖混合即可。

△加几片熟透的水果。蝴蝶喜欢香蕉、番石榴、芒果、木瓜和橙子。

△把容器放在阳台、窗台或外面的任何地方。

△每两到三天清洗一次容器并重新补充（食物）。

△为了吸引更多的蝴蝶，可以种一些蝴蝶喜爱的花朵。
