Is there a butterfly house I can either make or buy that really works?
ByI want to make a butterfly house but I am not sure which kinds will work, or whether one I might buy might even work for the butterflies, is there any that truly work so I can help give butterflies a home they can live and be happy in?

I have made them out of 4″ solid sewer pipe. Took a piece if I remember correctly about 3′ long and cut holes in it and then put some old hay inside it. They like to get inside the hay. I seen them go in it so I guess it worked.

They are very easy to make. It does depend on which type you want, do you want one so you can harbor your own butterflies from catterpillars or do you want one for outside and nature ? Here are some instructions.
