I’ve watched a half dozen or so of these puddling butterfly videos; this is my favorite. Thank you for posting.
Very interesting and informative. I might try it. Like the music.
I'll make one! Thanks.
Thank you masked bandit.
In Scotland I think that the dish will overfill regularly. My only idea is the put the mix to the top level of the dish, then when it overfills it will flow out over the top of the dish. The epsom salts will get washed away though. Has anyone any solutions/ideas/experience related to this problem?
Can you use play (sandbox) sand? or what kind is best?

Play sand is ok.
How often should this be changed or refreshed?

I realize your comment is older, but for anyone else wondering, I’ve seen that you have to rehydrate the sand every few days to a week or so, and change out maybe monthly.

Keep the substrate soil or sand at least moist or wet to touch
Does the salt need to be epsom salt? Or can it be something different?

Epsom is the best and is cheap and available , other salts just use a way smaller amount , what did you have in mind?
