Memorial-Funeral Butterfly Release Accoridion Box; Receiving Your Butterflies
First things First:
You do not need to be too worried about handling your box of butterflies. We pack them to insure they can handle the bumps and thumps of shipment. You would have to be pretty harsh with them to damage them.
INSECT SPRAY will kill your release butterflies. Do not store them in an area that has been recently treated for insects. Do not use insect spray near your release butterflies!
Butterfly Release Accordion Box - Opening Your Shipping Box:
Please open your cardboard box. Inside you will find that it is lined in Styrofoam. Remove the top of the Styrofoam. You will be able to see your pre-packed Accordion Butterfly Release Box and the ice packs inside of the box. Please remove the ice packs and refreeze it/them in your freezer. Use frozen fruit or vegetables to replace the ice pack if necessary. Exchange ice packs every morning and evening.
Be sure to replace the lid of the Styrofoam every time you walk away from the box. This is important! Your butterflies need to be kept cool and dark so they sleep while they are in the box.
DO NOT PUT YOUR BUTTERFLIES IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR IN DIRECT SUN LIGHT.
The Day of Your Butterfly Release:
If your butterfly release is in the afternoon you will need to check the ice packs to see if they are still cold. Refreeze when necessary.
Check the weather for the city you are going to be releasing the butterflies. If it is going to be raining that day you will need to make sure to wait until it is not raining to do the release. Remember that butterflies survive through thunderstorms and hurricanes, the rain will not kill or harm the butterflies. The reason you do not release when it is raining is that they will not fly in the rain. Also you will need to make sure it is not below 63 degrees during the release. Butterflies will not fly if it is too cold.
Remove your release box 2 hours prior to the release so they can warm up prior to the release. Please DO NOT remove the butterflies more then 2 hours prior. If you take them out too soon they can become too hot or they can become tattered from trying to get out of the box. If you do not take them out soon enough they will not be warm enough to fly for the release. DO NOT leave the release box in direct sunlight when they are warming up.
To Open your Accordion Butterfly Release Box:
If your Accordion Butterfly Release Box is a small white box covered in white sheer material, simply lift the lid swiftly. Your butterflies will automatically be lifted out of the box and released together.
If your Accordion Butterfly Release Box is a white, gold, or silver box which is not transparent, at the time of your release, open the lid. Grasp the tab and pull swiftly but gently upward. Your butterflies will automatically be lifted out of the box and released together.
If your release butterflies are accidentally released indoors before your designated time, follow
these instructions to repack your winged wonders. It is SAFE to handle butterflies as long as you are gentle.
