Breeding butterflies as a hobby - UK

[Nigel Venters]

Hi Mike,
Things have moved on a lot since the 1970's and there is a huge range of
livestock available now in the UK. Have a look at the ELG website
(Entomological Livestock Group.) UK based, at http://home.clara.net/pwbelg/

 A good contact also is :
Nigel South, Butterfly Connections, Breeding Centre, Silver Street,
Misterton, Somerset TA18 8NH England. E-Mail
nigel at leslie-south.freeserve.co.uk.

This guy has an amazing range of livestock available throughout the year.
