Attractive and useful
I bought this as a gift for a friend who lives in AZ. She loved it and couldn't wait to set it up outside. It's cute as well as a very useful gift.
Loved the idea.
Was not happy with product. After only one month the paint was peeling and peak was separating. I glued and nailed the top back together.
Bought for my friend
What a cool thing. Bought for my friend, a gardener who wants to attract more butterflies. She loves it.
gift
Unusual.a bit pricey for the quality
Well-crafted butterfly sanctuary
The biome arrived well-packaged and in excellent condition. The color is a little more on the green side than as shown in the picture, but it is pretty. The biome is well-crafted from solid woods. I purchased it as a gift and the recipient loved it!

Butterflies make great guests. Host them in this butterfly habitat and they’ll help the local ecosystem. It’s also a safe haven for other beneficial insects like hoverflies, bees, wasps, lacewings, and ladybugs in the colder months. Made from slow-seasoned timber wood and water-based paint, this home is great for the insects, the environment, and your backyard.
Put a hotel—or two—in your yard. Attract beneficial insects and animals into your local ecology with these beautifully designed habitat houses.
The folks at Wildlife World put a lot of thought and care into their designs, testing out everything from their bat boxes to butterfly habitats on a 35-acre farm in the UK. Each one is sustainably built, with timber that’s FSC certified and sourced from well-managed forests and other elements (like plastic or metal) that’s recycled.
Each little habitat doesn’t just look adorable, it also suits the needs of its guests while helping out your surroundings. Bees and butterflies pollinate, which helps keep your garden lush; while bats and frogs ward off pests.
Besides all those benefits, these critter homes are filled with learning opportunities, too. Scientific concepts like “pollination” and “the food chain” are way less abstract when you can see them come to life and point them out in nature . . . better yet, in your own yard.
