Building My Butterfly House From Scratch

Yes sr! 🙌🏽😁

Hi everyone!🫶🏽

I wanted to update this post after several months and some personal issues... But a promise is a promise, so here are the photos!

We made some changes, removing some very large plants, pruning, and rearranging things inside.

We also removed the shade netting, since it's no longer needed with the climbing plants, and I like it better aesthetically 🙌🏽

There aren't any butterflies flying around right now, so I'm open to suggestions and donations from members, hehe 🙄😬

I hope you like it! Have a great day!

Hello again everyone!!

After pruning the plants in the homemade butterfly garden, several members have been visiting.

Here are some photos 🙏🏽🙌🏽

And more...

Thanks so much 🙌🏽🙏🏽

Hello again.

We've pruned all the plants in the greenhouse again, since the butterflies had almost no room to fly, and that's my priority.

Climbing plants, like passionflowers, grow very quickly, and I don't mind cutting them almost completely back 😬

There aren't many species flying yet; I'm working on it, and I want to buy several pupae for the summer (I also accept donations, hehe 🙄😝).

Have a great weekend!

Hello everyone🙌🏽

The butterfly garden is growing very quickly. There are fruits from different Passiflora species, and also many flowers. I've also made some artificial feeders with my 3D printer.

As a fun fact, I wanted to share that I repaired the wing of a Papilio nireus butterfly. It couldn't fly properly or feed on its own, as its flight was terrible. Now it can live and eat well, and even reproduce.

I'll show you some photos now 👇🏽

Thanks to everyone for checking out this update.

Best regards, I hope you like it! 🫶🏽

Hello everyone.

Here are some photos of how the butterfly garden looks now. I have several butterfly larvae in controlled mesh enclosures and other animals living together.

There are no butterflies flying right now, as I'm waiting for the pupae to arrive... 😬

And more🙌🏽
