I've searched old forum posts and seen others complaining about butterflies coming into their conservatories. I have a south facing conservatory and whenever I slide open the doors on a sunny day I get one or more butterflies coming in. I'm forever hoying them out with a net or plastic jug and piece of card. I also keep destroying spider webs in case they get caught in them. I encourage butterflies into my garden with suitable plants but this is a bit of a drawback.
So, does anyone have any ideas? I know having silhouettes of birds of prey on the windows discourages birds flying into them, but don't know if it discourages butterflies. It is a white conservatory with lots of colourful objects inside, maybe that attracts them. Ideas most welcome as it's become an almost daily summer ritual.
Cheers

Thanks Bugboy, yes that work, although it would rather block the view out of our conservatory. But if I get desperate enough...
