The care guides I have produced here are based on my own experience of nearly 20 years - both in a butterfly farm and as a hobbyist - as well as information collated from other trusted sources. Therefore, all are evidence-based and designed to aid you in achieving the best possible results.

Note that my many years of experience also involve many failures - there are various factors beyond your control which can affect survival rates - so please do not be disheartened if you do not succeed the first time around!

You are also welcome to email with questions if you cannot find the information you are looking for here.
