What kind of butterflies can I get and where can I get them?
We provide painted lady and monarch butterflies through out the Continental United States although due to USDA restrictions we CANNOT ship monarchs (only painted lady butterflies) to AK,AZ,CA, Western CO, ID,MT,NV,NM,OR,UT and WA. We only ship butterflies that are indigenous to your state and that are beneficial to the environment.
Painted lady or Monarch?
There are a many advantages to using the Painted Lady for your Butterfly Release. While the Monarch is also a beautiful butterfly, the Painted Lady will linger after releases while the Monarch will quickly flee the scene. If you would like to enjoy the excitement of a butterfly that will often land contently on your shoulder or bouquet, this butterfly will perfectly accommodate your wishes. Both butterflies are very beautiful, the monarch has an average size of 4 inches compared to the average size of a painted lady being 2 inches. This year we have decided not to raise monarch butterflies and will only have painted lady butterflies available this year.

Open the box and you will find your instructions, the Indian poem, and your receipt. Simply take the top Styrofoam lid off and you will find your live butterflies in either your decorator box, or in a floral box that will have your triangular envelope with the butterflies in them. Leave the butterflies in the Styrofoam shipping box and replace the ice pack that we comes with your order. Replace our ice pack with a frozen one (you must have a frozen ice pack prior to delivery) and that will keep the butterflies dormant until you are ready to release them. When putting the Styrofoam lid back on the box, leave it cracked open for some ventilation. Leave the box in a room temperature room. Do not put your butterflies in a refrigerator.
What do I do the day of our butterfly release?
One hour before you want your butterflies to fly, take the floral box or decorator box out of the insulated shipping box and let the butterflies warm and wake up. Make sure you tell your guest there are butterflies in the envelopes and to be gentle. The temperature needs to be above 70 degrees for a successful release. Painted lady or Monarch? There are a many advantages to using the Painted Lady for your Butterfly Release. While the Monarch is also a beautiful butterfly, the Painted Lady will linger after releases while the Monarch will quickly flee the scene. If you would like to enjoy the excitement of a butterfly that will often land contently on your shoulder or bouquet, this butterfly will perfectly accommodate your wishes.

When do you give the butterflies to the guests to release?
The shortest amount of time is the best. Some ideas are to hand them out while your guest go outside to release them. Get a volunteer to let people know they have a live butterfly for release while giving them to the guest.
If it’s an outdoor ceremony let the guest all be seated and then have the ushers or appointed volunteers quickly and easily hand them out just before the ceremony . There are countless other ways and if you have questions, please email or call to ask before or after your order.
Do you allow tours on your farm?
Unfortunately, we are not allowed to entertain tours for several reasons: disease prevention, necessary permits and insurance reasons.
