Select a quiet, wind-free area. Hold the butterfly by its wings, not the body, to avoid damage. Position it on your hand or a flower, ideally its previous location or in a garden. Be patient; it may take time for the butterfly to orient and fly away on its own. Never force its wings open. Ensuring a safe, gentle release helps the butterfly recover and continue its journey.
