What care do butterflies need?
There is NO care needed as the butterflies are fed immediately before shipment and can survive up to 5 days on their own body fat. Your butterflies will be packaged ready for release. They are, however, packed with a cool-pack to bring them into an inactive state. You may need to re-freeze the cool-pack. Full instructions will accompany your order and we are available to assist you with any questions. The butterflies are more active in temperatures above 60 degrees. Although it is safe for the butterflies to be released in lower temperatures they will be sluggish and less active. If the temperature is cold (below 50 degrees) it is recommended that you do not release the butterflies. You may however display them in a display cage (We have cages that may be purchased for display) near the guest registry or any other location. The guests can enjoy watching the butterflies during the reception. After the reception the butterflies can be kept in the netting cage and fed a mixture of water,
