how long do you put a butterfly in the fridge to slow it down for photograph
Ideas, Suggestions! If you want to position a butterfly for close-up photos of your choice, or even place them in a larger box for a mass release, simply place the desired number of butterflies (kept in their original boxes) into the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes.lternately, you can cup your hands around the Monarch and place it back into the box/cage. You should be able to transfer all the butterflies into your box or cage with no escapees. However, should a butterfly escape during the transfer process, you will need to recapture it.
