Product Information

That's why we recommend you release your butterflies when daytime temperatures are above 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Pyjama Cages are practical in use and one of the most important features is that, a used cage can be renovated to almost new state in only a few minutes. To ensure the highest possible survival rate, avoid extreme temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight. If you have not reared butterflies and moths before, please take note of the foodplants your larvae will need.

After you’ve enjoyed their companionship, you can release them outside into the lap of nature when the temperature is above 50°F. They are also important indicators of the health of ecosystems, as their populations can be affected by changes in climate, habitat loss, and pollution.

Once you have released your butterflies, they can often be seen for several days- especially if you have a butterfly friendly garden and feeder.

The Butterfly Garden is an educational kit that gives the child an up-close experience to see caterpillars change into chrysalides and then emerge as fabulous painted Lady Butterflies.
