Butterflies
I signed up with this crowd a couple of years back: https://butterfly-conservation.org/ but I rarely get time to read their regular newsletters. However, this morning a piece on what to do when you find a butterfly that has woken up early inside your house caught my eye: https://butterfly-conservation.org/news ... 22484289b0
'no more blah blah blah'

Thanks for posting that.
I had a few in the house probably due to the mild winter.
I was putting them out in the garage in quiet spot.
So that seems to be the correct thing to do.

Re: Butterflies
Okay, so what do you do if the not-so-sleepy butterfly is already in an unheated shed? I was doing some tidying up yesterday in my "well ventilated" workshop-of-sorts and there was much fluttering going on ...you might be able to gently encourage the sleepy butterfly out onto the wall or ceiling of an unheated room or building such as a shed, porch, garage or outhouse.
Also had the painful experience of being stung on the arm by a dozy wasp while I was (not?) sleeping last night. No idea where he came from, unless he'd got tangled up in the jumper I was wearing while clearing the same shed and finally untangled himself in the middle of the night.
It's too damn hot. When is winter this year?
