Live Butterfly Release Instructions
Adding a live butterfly release to any special event can make the day even that more special. Whether it’s a wedding, a graduation, a Sweet 16 party, a birthday party or more, when you schedule a live butterfly release into the day everyone will surely be talking about the event long after it’s over. And there’s a lot of options when it comes to a live butterfly release. You can request that each butterfly come in its own individual box so each butterfly can be released individually. Or you can have a large number of butterfly’s put inside a large container so that they can all be released at once, which makes for a truly spectacular scene.
How to Prepare a Live Butterfly Release
When you decide to incorporate a live butterfly release into a special occasion, you’re going to receive the butterflies the day before. As soon as you receive the butterflies in the mail, it’s a good idea to listen carefully to each box for sounds of movement. (Very rarely are there any issues with a butterfly delivery.) Once this is done you’ll need to put the butterflies away into a cool dark place where they can rest until the next day. If a butterfly happens to get out of its box it will most likely fly towards the brightest light, like a window. If this happens all you have to do is gently pick up the butterfly by it’s folded wings and then put it back into its box.
Because the butterfly’s need a little time to warm up from the cool state they’ve been in for a couple of days now, it may be necessary to bring them to a warmer area about half an hour before the live butterfly release is scheduled to take place. The ideal temperature range for a live butterfly release to take place is between 62° and 76°. If the butterfly’s aren’t warmed up properly they won’t be able to fly, making it critical that this particular part of the live butterfly release is given extra special attention.
When it comes time to actually release the butterfly’s, make sure the person in charge of taking pictures is ready because it only takes between 30 seconds and 1 minute for each butterfly to warm up enough to start fluttering away. If you want to spend more time taking pictures, you can place the butterflies into a refrigerator for about 20 minutes to bring down their body temperature, which will delay the butterfly release a little longer.
Live Butterfly Release Benefits
All of the butterflies are given plenty of care before being placed into the containers and sent to you in order to ensure that their journey is both safe and successful. As long as you follow a few simple instructions, you can expect the live butterfly release to be one of the many special highlights of the day that won’t be soon forgotten. So if you have a special event coming up soon and are looking to add something to the day that will have people talking long after the event is over, scheduling a live a butterfly release just may be the perfect answer you’re looking for.
