Butterflies:

We supply large colourful butterflies for Weddings and Funerals. The Butterflies we offer are mainly the large Purple Emperor type butterflies approx. 3-4 inch wingspan, and Mourning Cloaks approx. 3½" wingspan. We can also supply medium sized butterflies like the Red Admirals, Painted Ladies, Peacocks, Tortoiseshells and small and Large White butterflies approx. 2-2½ inch wingspan.

Some Butterflies are available most of the year and some are seasonal.  Availability from 1st March – 31st October. Sometimes, also on mild winter days.

Peacock Butterfly

Peacocks and Mourning Cloaks (Camberwell Beauty) are our most popular butterflies and are ideal for releases anytime of the year, especially in the winter months as they are hibernating butterflies.

Then the next best ones are the Purple Emperors, as they have a slow gliding/flapping flight and when released  they tend to hang around and settle on flowers or anything brightly coloured so people can photograph them if required. Watching these ones in flight is an eye to be hold and a truly amazing experience.

There are others types of butterflies which are also very attractive and may suit you better depending on what colours you prefer. These include Painted Ladies, Red Admirals (both of these are common migrant butterflies), British Butterflies: Tortoiseshell butterflies also very colourful, but these three butterflies are considerably smaller, and have a strong powerful, rapid flight and tend to go like the wind and can sometimes be difficult to observe when released. 

Painted Lady Butterfly

Mourning Cloak
(Camberwell Beauty)

Mourning Cloaks have a slow gliding/flapping flight. When released they tend to settle on flowers or anything brightly coloured, making them easy to photograph. Also known as the Camberwell Beauty.

Very popular for Funeral Releases, but only available in the Summer Months.

Please note: We do our best to meet your requirements if they are in season but cannot always guarantee a certain type of Butterfly. Sometimes we might send you a mixture of different types or sometimes different ones to the ones you asked for.
