The shelf I hot glue the pupae to is on our back porch which is screened-in. One the the best feelings in the world is to come home from a long, hard day at work, then go out back to realize a butterfly has emerged and is ready to see the world. I cup them in my hand or get them to crawl on my finger, open the screen door and then release them. The pleasure of releasing these beautiful little guys into the world makes the hard days bearable!
