Do I need prior skills?

How do you find the insects?
We only purchase insects from conservation projects or butterfly farms, ensuring they live out their natural lives and are sold only after they have passed naturally. See More information on sourcing below.

The Ethics
This can be a concern for many entering the world of preservation! it certanly was for me when I started back in 2022 but insects are and should be sourced from butterfly farms and conservation projects, these sites often help the enviroment, local economy and awearness for these breathtaking creatures often rarely seen but living all around us!
