Importing farm-raised butterflies?

[MonarchsForever]

I import a lot of butterflies and none of them were allowed to live to old
age. A great farm to visit in Costa Rica is
http://www.butterflyfarm.co.cr/
If your heading to a different part of the world you can ask them (Joris or
Maria) to direct you to a butterfly farm in that area. Only about 140 people
raise butterflies full time for export so just about everybody knows each
other. Good luck. David Bohlken
