"Settling" Butterflies in Butterfly house?

Sheffield Lake, OH

Folks,

I have a 15 x 15' gazebo turned into a butterfly/moth house. It is netted on all sides. I have every host plant needed, and nector plants galore. Yet, these guys are just frantic to get out. Does anyone have a similar setup and if so, how do you make them 'happier'? I don't blame them for wanting to go out in the world, but thought I had a good habitat for them to some extent.

thx..

I am wondering what is your purpose in keeping them caged, are you raising to sell them? or is it just for observation.
As I am sure you know everyone likes to be free.
