Hey Becca,
The host plant will make a world of difference. I have tons of milkweed and they manage to eat it all down to nothing in no time. Which butterfly plants did you use ?
The one that mine are most attracted to is an ornamental spinach plant, that I didn't even know butterflies liked. It is a crazy growing thing. I also have pentas and Porterweed that they really like also, along with a slew of other plants including herbs.
