Why do it?? Because butterflies are on the decline and only about 2% of them actually make it to adults. A lot fall prey to the preditory insects like the fly, wasp mentioned earlier, praying mantis, lizards, frogs, & birds just to name a few. Then in our efforts to care for the plants they use, we spray chemicals.
Here is a Giant Swallowtail Butterfly I raised. Once you experience this you feel differently. It sat there for a long time just staring at me, then finally flew off.
