Article: Since butterflies can’t chew their food, they need to drink the juices. Fruit that just ripe or fruit that is starting to get mushy is the best to keep in your feeders. When it comes to feeding butterflies, the softer the fruit, the easier it is to eat. Butterflies aren’t picky when it comes to the fruit you leave out. Some commonly used fruits are watermelons, bananas, pineapple, oranges, and peaches. Experiment with different fruit to see what species you attract. A butterfly proboscis can’t penetrate the thick peels of fruit. Use a sharp knife to slice the fruit open so the inside flesh is easier to eat and drink. In case the fruit still isn’t easy for a butterfly to eat, making multiple slits in the flesh of the fruit gives a space for the juice to collect. Using the same knife as before, make shallow cuts into each piece of fruit you’re leaving out. You can also scrape the fruit or stab multiple holes into it with the tines of a fork for a similar effect. Fruit left out overnight may attract raccoons or other destructive mammals to your yard. Store fruit in a cool place like a garage or shed overnight and put it back in the morning. As the fruit keeps rotting, it will get softer and easier for the butterflies to eat.  Replace the fruit once the fruits have turned black or moldy. If you save the fruit, cut 1⁄8 inch (3.2 mm) into the fruit with a knife or fork each day so there is easy access to the juices.

Pick fruit that is ripe or overripe. Cut the fruit into quarters to expose their flesh. Make slits in the piece of fruit so the butterflies can get the juice. Move the fruit at night to prevent unwanted pests.
Article: The "bar" test ensures that your idea is clear and your storytelling is effective. Before you write your presentation, make notes sketching out your message. Think of it as a story, with a beginning, middle, and end. Then ask a colleague or friend who knows nothing about your project to listen to your summary.  Deliver your summary to them in friendly, direct language, as if you were telling the story to a friend in a bar. In fact, you can tell the story to a friend in a bar. However, telling a colleague over coffee can work just as well. Get them to tell you what their takeaway was. If they can summarize your message accurately, that's a good sign. Find a friend, colleague, or mentor who you trust to give you useful feedback. Rather than waiting until your presentation is "finished," deliver it to them while it's still a draft. That way, they can give you tips not just on your delivery, but on the organization of your content as well.  Ask them to be your coach. Give them your presentation once or twice and let them ask you questions and give feedback. Ask them to point out moments that are dull or confusing. . It's important to rehearse in front of people because it will make you less nervous when the time comes. If you tend to get nervous when you give presentations, you can go further during your rehearsals in order to reduce your nerves.  Write down what you're afraid of. What exactly worries you when you give a speech? Looking foolish? Being asked a hard question? Write down your exact fears, and then consider them each individually. Think about what you will do in each situation. For instance, if your fear is, "I'll forget what I'm saying," you can prepare a plan like, "If I forget what I'm saying, I'll pause, scan my notes, and find the next important point I need to make." Catch your negative thoughts, and calm them. If you think, "I'm going to get nervous and sweaty," replace it with, "I have important information to deliver and everyone is going to pay attention to that." You don't want to go over your time frame and get cut off, or wear on the patience of your audience. Time your rehearsals, especially those you give in front of others, to see that you are staying within the time you have. Give yourself extra time if you plan to take questions, or if you anticipate lots of digressions. Try practicing in front of your dog, your mirror, or your family. Practice speaking with an engaging tone. Gesture and emote as if you were addressing your audience. Know your presentation backward and forward. This doesn't mean sticking to a strict script every time. Instead, when you rehearse, improvise freely. Deliver your main points, but include quips and anecdotes that occur to you as you go. You'll remember the best ones when you actually deliver the presentation.
