## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is mid august to late to order?**
A: If temperatures are above 90 degrees we recommend waiting for cooler temps!

**Q: Do you need a mesh tent if you are planning on releasing them?**
A: Yes, adult butterflies should not be kept in a small box

**Q: Do you have to have a mesh tent for them?**
A: Once the caterpillars turn into chrysalis and are about to hatch into butterflies. You will need a mesh cage for the end of the butterfly lifecycle.

**Q: How many days does it take for them to hatch from when you receive the caterpillars?**
A: We received our caterpillars on the 10th and they formed their chrysalis on the 22nd.  It is supposed to take 10 - 14 days from then for the butterflies to appear.  So total should be around 3 - 4 weeks.
From the video, you can see when the chrysalis was forming.  Very informative and exciting to watch.
