Monarch

Monarchs
$8.00



Monarchs are the best all purpose wedding release butterflies. They are large, strong, and majestic gliders. Monarchs are perfect for Accordion Release Boxes as well as individual and mass release boxes. They are easy to see during the release due to their large size. We do not recomend them for "small" or clear center pieces as they have a tendency to try to walk through the glass sides of the container. The reason is that they simply do not see the glass or plastic sides and try to walk. This gives the impression of them being stressed, which is not so. It can, however, stress your guests to see them act in a way that appears as if they are trying to 'escape'! There is a quanity discount when you purchase more: Less than 12 price is $8.00;12 to 59 price is $7.00; 60 to 119 price is $6.50, Over 119 price is $6.25.
