Protected Rearing V Captive Breeding

Captive Rearing
This might have involved protection of immature life cycle stages on one’s own land or another’s with land owners permission, then reared outside under normal climatic temperatures, to adult butterfly stage, under insect net to avoid larval & pupal parasitisation & predation for same day butterfly release, after vulnerable emergence from pupae and wings had dried.
Captive Breeding
This might have involved capture of adult butterflies, for courtship & mating, on one’s own land (or another’s with appropriate permissions). The whole life cycle might have been in captivity, in controlled climatic conditions, possibly resulting in inappropriate release at wrong time of year, for suitable habitat use, for another’s butterfly count.
Officialdom
It was thought by someone, for fully protected species, habitat and life cycles were not meant to be interfered with in the wild, without appropriate Governmental consent, involving specialised governing bodies, with expertise, like for example, Butterfly Conservation.
