Where do your butterflies come from? Are they ethically sourced?

Absolutely. All our butterflies are sourced from reputable conservation farms and breeders around the world. These farms are vital for protecting natural populations and habitats. No butterflies are caught from the wild, ensuring our business is eco-friendly and sustainable.

Are any of these species endangered?

No. We strictly comply with CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) regulations. None of the butterflies we sell are endangered or protected under international law. We are committed to the preservation of all species.

Custom and personalized orders

We take great care in packaging. Each specimen is securely pinned inside a sturdy, crystal-clear display box with foam backing. This box is then cushioned with bubble wrap and placed in a strong, rigid cardboard shipping box marked "Fragile." We guarantee safe arrival.
