I also wholly disapprove of the reported fad of buying containers with reared butterflies for the guests to use as confetti in weddings (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/sep/21/wedding-accessory-animal-cruelty-butterflies). It is cruel as well as being somewhat Disneyesque. It may well also make life difficult for our already challenged insects (in terms of disease transmission et cetera). It seems almost as bad as religious and political figures releasing 'doves of peace' (often to be 'snapped up' by waiting birds of prey).
