At Mariposa Butterfly Release Farm we pride ourselves in utilizing the most eco friendly means of farming butterflies.
No wild butterflies are ever caught and released. We recycle the hostplants every year contributing to the elimination of CO2. We never use pesticides that are harmful to the caterpillars nor the environment.
And we adhere to the I.B.B.A's (International Butterfly Breeders Association) guidelines for sterilizing to prevent diseases so that when our butterflies are released into the Australian environment, where they are native to all areas, they are healthy and strong. Add to that, butterflies are pollinators and continue the beautiful cyclical nature of creation.
