The back wall in the original pattern, page 5, was missing the top tabs. please delete the original pattern and use the corrected version.

I received an email from Doug C. today asking about butterfly house patterns. That is something I had not thought of before so I decided to design one. I kept it pretty simple and used slot and tab construction to make it more durable in the weather. It does need a finish of good exterior paint. Also, make sure you use waterproof glue like Titebond III.
Buy on Amazon
I used to take stock photos to sell online. This is a photo I took of a butterfly back during that time. I liked this photo but it never sold. My best sellers were generic photos that writers could use in articles. My number one seller was a photo of a mail truck. I loved photography but stock photography was not my cup of tea. I still get some revenue from my photos. It's just about enough to buy dinner once a year. :) Here is a link to my photos on Shutterstock.
