Sweet Butterfly House

It's just like it looks: elegant, good quality, and absolutely stellar gift.


It's cute but...

This is a cute little house for... something. While you could feed butterflies with the cups there is a zero chance of the butterflies actually spending the winter in it. Worse is the fact that the interior boards are an attractive home to paper wasps. The construction is a little off, you could renovate it for something else if you really wanted. Overall a nice idea but not one that will work.

Thank you for your review! We’re sorry to hear the Butterfly Biome didn’t meet your expectations. We usually receive positive feedback on this item, and we appreciate your input.


Love it

I got this as a gift for my mom and she really enjoyed it as just that. However, it also prompted a trip to the butterfly pavilion with my nieces so it seems to already be a gift that keeps on giving in unexpected ways. #sweepstakes


The Gift was a winner!

This was a gift to my daughter. She love it and commented on the quality of the materials that were used. She was very happy with the gift.


Paint peeled within a week

I was so excited to receive this as a gift but sadly it didn't stand up to the elements at all. The pain immediately started peeling off.

Response from merchant

Hello! We have a forever return policy if you would like to return the item. As per the suggestion on the product page, you may also repaint the butterfly biome each season or as needed :^) We have reached out to you directly.


Great gift!

This was a great gift for a friend who loves all things nature and has a little one at home so they can enjoy it together!


Very poorly built

This is a nice idea, but cheap wood and poor construction. Look at the picture, the wood panels inside are delaminating. The sides pulled apart because they only use a few brads to put it together.

Response from merchant

Thank you for letting us know that your Butterfly Biome may have arrived defective. We've reached out to provide more support and details!


I would buy this again

I think my mother-in-law will love it. She loves spending time in her garden year round.


What a fun gift

Bought this for a gift for MIL , she loved it and says it goes great with the natural habitat she is creating in her courtyard.


Cant be hung by the hardware on it

I haven't put it outside yet. I will have to just sit it on the steps. I won't put any nectar or food in it because that would attract skunks and ants. Hopefully butterflies will find it.

Response from merchant

Thank you for your feedback! We've found it works best when setting the butterfly habitat in a sunny sheltered position, out of prevailing winds.

Hi where can we buy butterfly food thanks

Verified reply from Allison

Hi! Butterflies enjoy sliced, over-ripe oranges, grapefruits, strawberries, peaches, nectarines apples and bananas. The mixture can be kept moist by adding water or fruit juice.


Made where? Why plastic material used with wood?

Verified reply from Cassandre

Only the Butterfly feeding cups are made with plastic (for ease of removal and for cleaning). This item is made in China.


Ours didn't come w a hanging apparatus. Is it supposed to sit on the ground?!?

Verified reply from Norma

The Butterfly Biome is not meant for hanging it is to be set on a table to porch ledge away from wind in a sunny area.


The description mentions removable cups for nectar and seeds. What seeds are appropriate for butterflies? Other than sugar water, what do you feed butterflies?

Verified reply from Allison

Butterfly caterpillars almost all eat plant matter. Caterpillars eat leaves, but some species eat seeds and seed pods while others specialize on flowers.


Does this product come with whatever I see inside of the cup on the picture. I assume it's some sort of mineral material.

Verified reply from Allison

What you see in the cup is fruit. Butterflies love fruit! It is not included.
