The role of butterflies in nature

Butterflies are important pollinators. They help plants to reproduce. This supports biodiversity. Butterflies are also an important food source for other animals.
Butterflies’ habitats are under pressure. This is due to urbanisation and the loss of green spaces. A butterfly box provides an extra place for them to rest. This helps butterflies to survive in built-up areas.

Installation and assembly of the butterfly box

Correct placement is key to success. Hang the butterfly box in a quiet spot. Choose a dry and sheltered location. This could be in bushes, trees or on a building façade.
Place the box at a height of at least two metres. Avoid direct sunlight. Do not face the box towards the south-west. This will prevent rain from getting inside.
The box comes with a stainless steel screw and plug. Installation is quick and easy.
