 HOW TO RELEASE YOUR BUTTERFLIES Show
HOW TO RELEASE: It is so easy! All our butterflies are shipped in viewing envelopes overnight or the day before.
We recommend releasing the butterflies at least ½ hour before sunset because it will give the butterflies enough time to find shelter. Do not release butterflies at temperatures below 65F or during inclement weather. Instead, use the release cage as a holding cage until the weather clears up. In case you cannot release them within 24 hours, please read the care instructions or call us at 845 832 6749. CARE INSTRUCTIONS: If it is raining, do not release your butterflies. Wait until the rain stops. A light mist is okay as long as it is warm outside. If you can’t release them within 24 hrs because of weather, please feed your butterflies using pesticide-free flowers or cotton balls soaked in Gatorade. Release your butterflies into a big box. Make the container escape-free by securing paper towels or netting over the top of the box, or just place them in our centerpieces. Also, lightly mist the butterflies through the netting several times a day or more if your house is dry. TIPS FOR YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER : Try to capture a specific moment and butterfly. Do not try to capture your butterflies against the sky as it will be very difficult to see; they will appear small and in some cases be impossible to see. Since butterflies will fly towards bright objects, including flowers, wait for one to land and photograph it. If you want to reserve a few butterflies for photograph purposes, place them in a refrigerator within their envelopes (not near the freezer) for about 30-45 minutes. They will be cool and will not fly right away. Pick them up with wings folded between your second and third fingers. Place them where you want them and shoot.

How long should you wait to release a Monarch butterfly?While monarchs can spread their wings and dry sufficiently to take a short flight after 90-120 minutes, it is best to wait 24 hours to release them. A monarch's first short flight soon after emergence allows them to reach a dark and protected spot where they rest the remainder of the day unless disturbed.
How do you know when butterflies are ready to be released?Since butterflies are cold-blooded, they need heat to warm and activate their bodies to get the energy to fly. That's why butterflies are active in the afternoon but disappear after sunset or if it's cloudy. Release butterflies only when the temperatures are between 60 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the best time of day to release a butterfly?Light: Release an hour before sunset if possible. Although they can be released thirty minutes before sunset, their chance of survival is greater if they are released an hour before sunset. When it is dusk or dark, they sit and wait for sunshine. If you MUST release in the dark, do the same as for low temperatures.
How do you release a new butterfly?Bring the butterfly outside so that it can warm its wings in the sunlight. Wait to release your butterfly if it's raining, or if the forecast high temp is less than 60° fahrenheit. They can hang from the top of a butterfly-only mesh cage, or an indoor plant until the weather improves.
