Most of the shadow box frames come gift boxed. If you would like to change the framing from what is shown, please notify us in advance. There is an additional cost of upgrading from riker frames to the shadow boxes.
Q. Where do you get your butterflies from?
A. My butterflies originate from tropical butterfly farms located around the world. In an effort to sustain rainforests and to provide incomes to local communities, butterfly farming has become an important industry. Many organizations are now teaching people how to raise butterflies for ecological and economical purposes. This brings hope to end the destruction of rainforests from logging and the slash and burn agricultural farming practices. Butterfly farming ensures survival of natural populations by reducing poaching, protecting habitat for other plants and animals, and providing an income to third world populations.
Q. How long does a butterfly live?
A. Most generally, an average butterfly will live about 7 days in the wild and approximately 2 weeks within an aviary. There are exceptions to the rule. Ex. The monarch live about 10 months.
