You don't even need to keep them alive. I was killing butterfiles during autumn and had enough after 7 days. I wasn't even doing it non-stop. If you do it non-stop (from the moment of dawn and until dusk, every day), you will have enough after 4-5 days. During summer it would probably be 3 days. With a spwan rate of 12-15 seconds between butterflies you can cach 5 per minute and therefore 25-28 per day when days are longest during summer. With 25 per day it will take 3 days, and the wings from the first day won't even be half-spoiled by the time you're done.
