I'm a little late in posting, but the very next day after our first butterfly hatched, we woke up to see that they'd all hatched!
The red stuff isn't blood, it's meconium. The instructions say that's what they use to add color to their wing patterns soon after they are born, and they shed the excess color that they don't use.
Also, it said to put an orange slice in there for them to suck the sugary juice out of, so that's on the bottom of the house.
We're going to let them loose tomorrow or the next day, so expect pictures of that soon!
