Butterflies don't live to long about a week and sometimes a little more. Whats the point in a life that short? The answer is plenty! Butterflies like bees are an important part of the ecosystem and plant life. They are one of natures gardeners! They help pollinate flowers and other plants. They flit (butterfly version of flying) from one plant to another spreading pollination the life fuzz of plants. Pollen carries the plants male sperm cell. Once the pollen lands on the pistil the flower is fertilized. Butterflies are only active during the day time hours, unlike their moth cousins who primarily come out at night.
Butterfly farming has a history of over 20 years and its increasing all the time Butterfly conservatories will pay good money for butterfly pupa. They may pay $5.00 a pupa and possibly even accept upwards of 500 a week. Thats phenomenal. The wedding industry is massive. People spend thousands of dollars on their wedding so why not get a piece of that pie? Its becoming ever more popular to release butterflies at the walk out of the bride and groom in a wedding. Butterfly farming can be as small as someones back yard or it can be large with the use of greenhouses and acres of land. Many people have started butterfly farms all over the country. You can visit butterfly farms in every state. They are great places to take your family especially if you have small children. Kids are fascinated by butterflies and I’m sure you will be to.
