The Butterfly Release Process
Before you release your butterflies, it is important to keep a few things in mind. They arrive in a foam-lined, insulated box with instructions on top, and should be stored in the refrigerator until release. About an hour beforehand, take the box out to let it gradually warm up without placing it in direct sunlight. They should be freed outside during daylight hours on a day free of rain and extreme wind. You can learn more about the full butterfly release process on our Butterfly Release Instructions page.
