We love that the wooden butterfly house is painted and shingled by hand. Does this darling domicile set your heart aflutter?

What a cute design which is not over the top or over done!

I'm not a fan of the color, will there be more choices?

Vote: Thumbs up!
I voted yes because it's very pretty but I'm probably not going to buy it for $68.

Thanks for the feedback, Ciara! The Wooden Butterfly House is being considered in this color, but we do welcome suggestions. What colors would you like to see?

What makes it attractive to butterflies, as opposed to let's say spiders or wasps?
Cassie, UncommonGoods Community Moderator
Thanks for the question, Cassandra. Some butterfly species seek shelter in warm summer months and hibernate in safe places during the winter, so this house could provide the cover they need. Unfortunately, there is no way to guarantee that other bugs won't be attracted to this cozy home as well.

I'm not sure butterflies need houses. The money would be better spent on plants that attract butterflies.

This is a lovely design and not over priced considering it is hand made in america. I would just hope that it is not over taken by less desirable insects.

Too pricey. This can easily be a weekend craft project.

Birdhouses should not be expensive, as they represent simple living and charm.

Way too expensive, but I love it. The carved opening and color is pretty and something I haven;t seen.
Nancy
I am not convinced that butterflies will actually use it.
