What Makes It Uncommon

Wing Inn

Did you see what's on the cover of Cocoon Living this month? All the butterflies are talking about this ingenious A-frame structure, which provides for them all year long. In spring and summer, the door folds down to become a front porch feeding station, with removable cups for nectar and seed. Winged visitors can roost (yep, not only birds do that) among the cozy partitions in the back. In the fall, put up the "porch" to close up the house, so non-migrating butterflies can safely hibernate in the roosting partitions. Made of durable, slow-seasoned cedar that can handle years of weather. Includes a butterfly identification and life cycle guide. A wonderful gift for gardeners and butterfly fanciers. Handmade in China.

Usually ships within 24 hours.

It's cute but...

This is a cute little house for... something. While you could feed butterflies with the cups there is a zero chance of the butterflies actually spending the winter in it. Worse is the fact that the interior boards are an attractive home to paper wasps. The construction is a little off, you could renovate it for something else if you really wanted. Overall a nice idea but not one that will work.

Love it

I got this as a gift for my mom and she really enjoyed it as just that. However, it also prompted a trip to the butterfly pavilion with my nieces so it seems to already be a gift that keeps on giving in unexpected ways. #sweepstakes

Paint peeled within a week

I was so excited to receive this as a gift but sadly it didn't stand up to the elements at all. The pain immediately started peeling off.

Response from merchant

Hello! We have a forever return policy if you would like to return the item. As per the suggestion on the product page, you may also repaint the butterfly biome each season or as needed :^) We have reached out to you directly.

Great gift!

This was a great gift for a friend who loves all things nature and has a little one at home so they can enjoy it together!

Very poorly built

This is a nice idea, but cheap wood and poor construction. Look at the picture, the wood panels inside are delaminating. The sides pulled apart because they only use a few brads to put it together.

Cant be hung by the hardware on it

I haven't put it outside yet. I will have to just sit it on the steps. I won't put any nectar or food in it because that would attract skunks and ants. Hopefully butterflies will find it.

Response from merchant

Thank you for your feedback! We've found it works best when setting the butterfly habitat in a sunny sheltered position, out of prevailing winds.

Hi where can we buy butterfly food thanks

Verified reply from Allison

Hi! Butterflies enjoy sliced, over-ripe oranges, grapefruits, strawberries, peaches, nectarines apples and bananas. The mixture can be kept moist by adding water or fruit juice.

  • Jacksonville,FL

Made where? Why plastic material used with wood?

Verified reply from Cassandre

Only the Butterfly feeding cups are made with plastic (for ease of removal and for cleaning). This item is made in China.

  • FL

Ours didn't come w a hanging apparatus. Is it supposed to sit on the ground?!?

Verified reply from Norma

The Butterfly Biome is not meant for hanging it is to be set on a table to porch ledge away from wind in a sunny area.

  • NH - New Hampshire

The description mentions removable cups for nectar and seeds. What seeds are appropriate for butterflies? Other than sugar water, what do you feed butterflies?

Verified reply from Allison

Butterfly caterpillars almost all eat plant matter. Caterpillars eat leaves, but some species eat seeds and seed pods while others specialize on flowers.

  • Chicago, Illinois

Does this product come with whatever I see inside of the cup on the picture. I assume it's some sort of mineral material.

Verified reply from Allison

What you see in the cup is fruit. Butterflies love fruit! It is not included.
