Ithaca Limited Edition Butterfly House

Butterflies and moths are part of our ecosystem; they represent a large proportion of pollinating insects and act as an important food source for other wildlife higher up the food chain. A butterfly house such as this offers shelter during poor weather and a safe habitat in which to overwinter.

This Limited Edition Butterfly House has been made from sustainable FSC© certified wood, with a Big Butterfly Count colour co-ordinated roof which will fit right in when surrounded by wildlife-friendly plants. It is best positioned in a sunny spot facing towards the south as this helps butterflies to warm up naturally. Hang up to a height of around 1.5m preferably near nectar-rich flowers or even their favourite buddleja butterfly bush. Make your butterfly house extra inviting and place a few twigs upright inside to encourage butterflies to cling to and rest.
