The release of the butterflies is not only a beautiful sight, but the gesture also symbolizes beauty, hope, joy, positivity, and a new beginning!

To make sure your chrysalis has the highest chance of survival, we do keep it for a few days to monitor its health and make sure it is safe to travel before sharing it. On average, you will have 3-5 days with the chrysalis before the butterfly emerges (aka eclose). 

We are not able to guarantee the emerging date as these are wild insects. However, we will provide an estimated date in the welcome note for your reference.

After 2 to 3 HOURS from emerging, it is time to make a wish and release your butterfly back into nature. Release the butterfly only during BRIGHT DAYLIGHT. There is no feeding required for the butterfly as they do not feed within the first 24 hours. 

In each chrysalis box, we provide a detailed care and release informational card to guide you through the journey.

Free pick up at our Waipahu Home Office (94-647 Kupuna Loop) is available daily.
