Individually enclosed in our custom designed Easy-Release Envelopes ~ This natural design safely holds the butterflies in their resting position. They are not harmed or stressed in anyway as this environment induces a sleep state similar to hybernation.

It's very simple. Depending on your special instructions, the butterflies are either personally delivered or picked up, perfectly timed for your special event. Your live butterflies arrive in your packaging of choice and ready for release at the chosen moment. The butterflies come to you fed and content, so they require no special attention. Once the package is opened, the natural heat and light will awaken your sleeping beauties and inspire them to take flight.

WHEN TO ORDER:
Although we raise butterflies, we are not a commercial farm enterprise. Our focus is preservation of the Monarch Butterfly by restoring natural habitats that are both holistic and organic. Since we use no pesticides or intrusive caretaking of the caterpillars, there can be unpredictable "acts of nature" that lessen the butterfly supply available for event release. Although we are happy to accept your order weeks ahead of time, please understand that this places you on our "WISH" list - on a first-come first-serve basis.
We will need to know how many butterflies you wish to have and the date and location of your special event. Your wish for butterflies will be placed on our breeding schedule. You will be updated all along the way. We will contact you 30 DAYS, prior to your celebration, to confirm the amount of butterflies available at that time and make payment and delivery arrangements.
BUTTERFLY FACTS - The reason we are unable to confirm, in advance, the exact number available
It takes 4 weeks for a caterpillar to grow into a Chrysalis
And another 2 weeks to emerge into a Butterfly
Since Monarch caterpillars are presently at high survival risk, it's best to confirm your order once they have entered the chrysalis stage
"Why don't you just raise a large supply of Butterflies?"
Wish we could, but with a butterfly lifespan of only 14 days, it's not an option.

So...any orders received months ahead of time, places you top on the "wish" list and is NOT a confirmation of the exact butterfly count requested. Although we do all that is possible to create and maintain thriving butterfly habitats, the ultimate decision of availability is a gift of nature and not under our total control. The butterfly is one of the most delicate and precious of creatures and a true blessing to have at any of life's celebrations. We receive many requests and would like to give everyone a chance to have them.
Once you have placed your order we will be able to give you a firm price quote. No transactions will proceed until we have your full approval.
Shortly before your event our Butterfly Caretaker will personally feed, package and deliver your butterflies according to your order. They will be delivered/picked up on the day of your special event unless otherwise specified.
We work closely with you and do everything in our power to ensure your complete Satisfaction
UNAVAILABILITY: Island Rhythms will take all reasonable measures to assure butterfly availability if butterflies are reserved in advance of release date. However, butterflies are living creatures with limited life spans (14 days) and, as such, mother nature may not cooperate. In the unlikely event of a "crop failure," Island Rhythms maximum liability will be limited to a refund for payment received.
PAYMENT:
As soon as you place an order, we do our best to protect the growing cycle of your butterflies so they will emerge - on time - just days before your event. Payment is accepted no later than 10 days before your event date to confirm your order. Your prompt payment is your guarantee!
We happily accept personal checks and money orders. For your security, all credit card payments are made through PayPal on-line services.

SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS:
Time can be a factor when arranging for a memorial service or surprise event. We always keep a small amount of butterflies in reserve for these circumstances. Be assured that if it's at all possible - we will deliver! When time is a factor, cash payments are accepted at time of delivery.
GUARANTEE:
Island Rhythms guarantees a healthy delivery of butterflies, but will not be responsible for loss due to mishandling of the package after receipt. A trusted person must be present to receive the package the day before your event. We will not be liable for packages that are left outside because the recipient was not available for delivery. We also hold no responsibility for existing weather conditions.
