In Tora Rocha's section, she included a picture of a slow moving water feature for wild life. It looked like an egg shaped water feature. Does anyone know where I can buy one like it? When I look up water feature online it doesn't have options suitable for wildlife. Thank you!

Tora may reply to your question, but butterflies want shallow water (as she showed) it could even be in a saucer with rocks or flowing over a rock.
