Butterflies and Moths

These butterflies and moths are raised in insect farms and not caught in the wild. These farms, mostly in Peru and Southeast Asia, support the local populace who then do not have to resort to crop farming with its concomitant destruction of the rain forest. The chrysalises are shipped to various zoos and specialized live butterfly displays as well as to those who produce our mounts. Further, some of the chrysalises are hatched to repopulate their native wild habitats. The frames all have attached hooks making them suitable for wall display and all our butterflies and moths are non-CITES restricted species.
