Lovely. They need water in a form they can access -- a very wet mud puddle, for example (it's called puddling) -- but in a long dry period that becomes scarce. A large stone with chips or depressions in it can be sprayed with water for them, or bottle caps or jar lids with water in them can be placed where the butterflies are most often seen.
