Butterflies will often feed from mud puddles to ingest minerals and salts, which are important supplements to their diet. That's why we recommend you release your butterflies when daytime temperatures are above 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

After seven to ten days they will hang upside down and harden into chrysalids (chrysalids are also known as pupae). CATERPILLARS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE SPRING AND SUMMER, THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE BETWEEN MID-SEPTEMBER AND MARCH AS THE WEATHER IS TOO COLD FOR THEM. It will take about seven to ten more days for them to complete the transformation to adult butterflies.
