No, I don't really believe in selling butterflies or eggs. I understand the butterfly farms that raise them for scientific purposes like sales to museums and other exhibits, but I don't believe in wedding releases or things like that. We've done enough damage putting insects where they don't belong and just messing with nature in general. That's one reason I like MOSI. We only raise native Florida butterflies. It may not be as visually stunning as the museums that have all the tropical species, but it's nice to be able to tell the locals how to build a garden so they can attract the exact same species they see at the museum.
