My B.U.G. STORY:
My name is Kevin Clarke and I personally preserve spread, mount, and ship all the insect displays in my Sonoma County California B.U.G. (Bug Under Glass) studio. While in graduate school pursuing a degree in Conservation Biology that focused on insects, I learned about how butterfly farming can combine economic development, poverty alleviation and also help protect critical habitat. This led me to combine my love of art, nature, and sustainability into a business that helps draw attention to this disappearing world.


WHERE DO THE BUGS COME FROM?
It is very important to me that the insects I use come from a sustainable source and do not negatively impact the environment. In fact, most of the specimens used in these displays have a positive impact on critical habitats, as well as the impoverished populations that live around them. Butterfly farming is a way to earn an income by raising butterflies for flying butterfly exhibits, museums, and collectors. Specimens are raised in closed enclosures and foot plants are collected from the surrounding habitat, thus giving populations an incentive to protect critical habitat that may otherwise turn into another income, like farming or logging - both of which negatively impact the environment. The insects I work with are not rare or endangered and most come from insect farming programs or breeders around the world. I do not sell mammals, reptiles, or dragonflies.
