Butterfly house by Atelier Zabie

Why install a butterfly shelter? In some species, it is the adult butterflies that overwinter. In the fall, these species seek sheltered places to rest until spring.

• In nature, these butterflies prefer rocky areas, tree stumps, and piles of wood or branches. These species have also learned to use buildings, which offer excellent protection from the rain and a slightly milder temperature than outdoors. Butterflies are often seen in the autumn (October) seeking shelter near the roofs of buildings.
• Installing a butterfly shelter is not essential for the survival of these species, but it makes it easier to observe this pollinator, the butterfly, and to encourage its establishment in the garden.
• Plant a beautiful variety of flowers that attract butterflies. Browse and discover our flower seeds .
• Protect the shelter from rain by ideally installing it under the eaves of buildings or in nature; ensure that it is as protected as possible, for example, against the trunk of a large tree.
• Avoid the use of pesticides and insecticides.
