VERSATILE BUTTERFLY HABITAT: Provides a summer feeding station and winter house for butterflies. Feeding butterflies is essential at the start and end of the summer season when natural nectar sources from suitable plants may be in short supply.
SUMMER USE: To use as a butterfly feeder, fold the nectar-feeding tray down and serve butterfly food or sweet, ripe fruit to your butterflies. The removable cups can be washed for clean, hygienic feeding.
WINTER USE: Fold up the tray to make a cosy over-wintering home for non-migratory butterflies. The butterfly house comes with a slotted wooden cartridge inside to provide safe spaces and attracts butterflies. DURABLE, ECO-FRIENDLY DESIGN: Made from slow-seasoned timber that is naturally durable and doesn’t require additional treatments or chemicals. Ideal for those who love the environment, and natural, functional outdoor decor.
EASY TO USE: No assembly required. Includes hanging rope. Hang in a warm sheltered location, preferably near flowers to draw in butterflies. Includes instructions and tips on feeding and caring for butterflies.
STYLISH & PRACTICAL: The dimensions are 11.7 x 18 x 26 cm. The home weighs only 100g.

Benefits of the Wildlife World Butterfly House and Feeder
When and How to Feed Butterflies?
Feeding butterflies is essential at the start and end of the summer season when natural nectar sources from suitable plants may be in short supply. Try these items in your feeding tray during these times of the year.
- Sliced fruits (rotting or old fruits work best). Such as strawberries, peaches, apples, or bananas.
- Sugar syrup water.
- Prepared butterfly food packets.
A Convenient and Safe Resting Spot
When butterflies rest, they must find a place to roost. This carefully designed house for butterflies is made of untreated wood (without chemical treatments) and made of durable Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified timber.
- Untreated wood and slats for roosting during night-time or rain.
- Looks great in the garden and is safe for wildlife, butterflies, and insects.
- FSC timber is responsibly managed, socially beneficial, conscious to the environment, and economically viable.
For All Seasons
Many butterflies and insects need a space to outlast the cold or freezing temperatures in their summer habitat. In the spring, they emerge to lay eggs and begin the next stage of life.
- Fold up the tray to provide a cosy shelter for overwintering butterflies.
- Many non-migratory butterfly and moth species overwinter in the larval or pupae stage.
- This butterfly habitat is truly multipurpose!

Paint bubbling and pealing after two months
cute but the paint started to bubble after two months –

It’s just OK
The feeding drop down hinge is very tight and doesn’t stay down. Can’t even put anything in it!!! It’s cute but I’m afraid it will serve little to no function.

Still waiting for activity
Color is questionable. Butterflys like bright colors but this house is painted a pail eggshell blue. Had to attach brightly colored flowers to help attraction. In the house there is a removeable butterfly rest section for multiple birds, but very poorly made of rough wood mis- aligned (had to re-align a few sections). Nectar cups will attract bees & hornets & collect rain which will dilute the nectar. Hanging method has one hook on the back to attach it to a flat vertical surface, I had to improvise to hang it from a poll with by adding another hook on the front with a chain attached.Too much messing around for me.

Disappointed
Middle board inside the house is warped some and the paint on the outside of the house is scuffed a bit. Both of these things will probably happen when put outside, but it was supposed to be a gift. I was disappointed.

Clever!
At a glance, the butterfly house is adorable (and a great idea). Simple attention to detail in the craftsmanship would have made it 5 star. It needed a bit of sanding before applying the finish.

Came cracked at seams
Was disappointed in the quality, the wood has a large gap/crack at the top seam which made it ungiftable.

Great Look
It’s very cute. So far I haven’t seen a butterfly use it, although I don’t watch it that much. The nectar area does draw ants. But they are easily cleaned off and new nectar inserted.

Was this meant to be used outdoors?
Had this product since June 4. It is now August 3. Paint is peeling like crazy. Worried that butterflies, birds , bees and other creatures in my garden will ingest the paint chips.

Never once saw a butterfly go near it
Butterflies never went near it either with food in the summer or when it was closed in the winter. Paint is peeling.

Terrible quality
The bee house from the same company is excellent, really high quality. This, sadly, is not. Within a few months the roof had split apart, the paint was peeling, the whole thing was warped out of shape. So disappointing.

Amazon Customer –
Cute and functional
I really liked the butterfly house and it was as pictured/described. I had ordered 2 as gifts to give to friends who had done me several favors. They arrived. One was perfect. The other had an obvious crack in a piece of wood. I would have sent it back, but we friends were getting together for a celebration as my thank you to them, and I didn’t have time to send the one back and wait on another. So I gave the one with a cracked piece of wood to my friend with an apology. My rating would have been a 5 otherwise.

Very well constructed
I found this product to be very well constructed. Our blazing hot summer and cold winter will tell the tale but I see no reason why this product will not live up to its claim.

The paint started falling off after 3 weeks.
I was excited to put out something for the butterflies. I quickly realized it wasn’t a good buy. I even gave one to a friend as a gift. Very disappointed. The paint is peeling after 3 weeks outside!

After several mos in my backyard, the elements caused the paint to start to peel. No butterflies have claimed it as their home, yet.

Cute Decoration
If you think that butterflies are pretty and want to attract them, this is only a cute decoration. There is a space for a bit of sugar water to attract them, but there isn’t room for habitation.

Cheaply made, don’t waste your money
Don’t waste your money!!! I bought this and placed it outside as it is for BUTTERFLIES, isn’t it?!The paint is chipped all over and the wook is already rotting after ONE WEEK outside. The hinges show some rust as well. I can’t send it back now as it has been used for a week and Amz will refuse the return/refund. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS…
