Numbers have fallen due to habitat and biodiversity loss in the countryside. Conserving butterflies and moths are of great importance for reasons that include their intrinsic and aesthetic value and their use in education and ecology. An area rich in butterflies and moths is a good indicator of a healthy environment and ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eButterflies and moths have a significant part to play in the food chain. At the various stages of their fascinating life-cycle, they support a whole range of birds, bats and other insectivorous animals. Telling the difference between butterflies and moths can be extremely challenging as the common misconceptions of colour, hairiness, and time are not reliable. The most troubling thing people will find is that, in truth, there isn’t much of a difference as both belong to the Lepidoptera group, of which there are 60 species of butterfly and over 2,500 recorded moths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe can help butterflies and moths as they will visit any garden, however small. If they can feed on suitable nectar plants and have shelters, a well-thought-out garden can attract many moth and butterflies.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-05-26T14:59:50+01:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Butterflies"}],"published_scope":"web","image":{"created_at":"2022-05-26T14:59:49+01:00","alt":null,"width":900,"height":934,"src":"\/\/wildlifeworldtrade.eu\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Butterflies_and_Moths.webp?v=1653573589"}},{"id":421673566453,"handle":"offers","updated_at":"2024-03-06T16:01:18+00:00","published_at":"2023-04-20T11:37:45+01:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"web","title":"Sale","body_html":""}]
Feed & provide shelter for butterflies in your garden with our new Butterfly Barn.
Part of our new Barn Range. The Butterfly Barn provides a safe home for all types of butterflies, moths and lacewings. Designed not only for butterflies but also many other species of pollinating insects. The slatted centre provides resting and sheltering spots. The Barn’s recycled plastic door swivels, allowing access to the nesting compartment to clean and carefully observe species during cooler weather.
For feeding fill up the reservoir at the bottom with a solution of butterfly food. Recipes can be found online, or you can purchase a ready-made packet directlyfrom our website,which requires adding water. Or serve sweet over-ripe fruit instead of sugar water.
Produced from sustainably managed, FSC-certified wood, with a recycled second-life plastic front. The Butterfly Barn comes in an attractive gift box and is easy to put up and care for.
