I've just let the first butterfly out of the house into the sunshine. The first of many that have over-wintered in the house.

that's amazing how lucky you are to have them spend the winter in your house !
i had a ladybird the other day when i was spring cleaning and giving my windows a good clean, think it came out of the window vent.
My daughter reared and released butterflies a couple of years ago. Here is a link to the video of the release.

Really charming Simon, I did a batch of Small Tortoiseshell butterflies when I was a kid. Nettle leaf in a sweet jar.
I'm currently (well not today in this weather ) letting lacewings out of the shed and have a couple hiding in the spare bedroom, and they haven't paid any board for Winter lodgings
Runny I remember the B/fly on your wall Not sure about moth.
Hope that you found the supplier: The one we used was http://www.insectlore.co.uk
