I recently observed a few P napi mud-puddling in much the same place as
last year. In this connection, a friend from Malaysia tells me of
observing a row of Chinese butterfly-collectors, early in the morning,
solemnly urinating onto a sandbank so that butterflies would come to the
salts left behind after evaporation.
Apparently the manoeuvre was very successful. Has anyone tried it in a
temperate climate situation?
