Thanks for the replies. I really don't want to release it if it's just going to die. What about something such as http://www.uksafari.com/nov_commas.htm

Or would an October release be better?

What is the moral dilemma in taking a butterfly from captivity and releasing it into the wild? I assume there are a least a couple winter butterflies?

Hence why I asked whether it would die. I do not intend to kill it. I am unsure as to whether there are any butterflies that survive at that time of year. I've done flowers a hundred times.

I apologise. I assume that there are no breeders? I also love butterflies! But this is for the girl that I love?

Hi all,

I know this may seem like an odd question. But I was wondering whether any of you knew how I could buy or somehow get a butterfly towards the end of November. Am looking to do a release (Would it die from a release at that time of year?) I hope not. Thanks.
