Butterfly Farm in my Bedroom?

Now I SWEAR that I have not had a drop to drink, or any mind altering substances....... it appears that I have a butterfly farm in my bedroom!
I have noticed that quite often there has been a Red Admiral fluttering against the inside of the window, sometimes I have found a dead one on the floor when I am hoovering, which I have to admit is not often
Anyway, there have been more and more of them recently so they must be breeding as I can't work out any other way they can be there! Perhaps there is a connection with what looks like grains of boiled rice I keep finding in odd corners and behind furniture. I am amazed they can survive on a wool carpet and no water........ has anyone else had this, or know anything about house-reared butterflies???

If I'd been on the poteen I would expect the effects to be more startling, assuming I was still alive!

Some butterflies do hibernate in houses so they could be waking up because it is so mild?

It's the coldest it ever gets here at the moment, so that is a mystery....
