*** ETHICS & ORIGIN ***
Determining the ethical sourcing of insects is a complex issue, and what is considered ethical can vary from person to person. However, we source our insects from trustworthy suppliers who assure us that their specimens are ethically sourced. We take their word for it and strive to promote responsible practices in the insect trade.
Our insect and butterfly specimens are sustainably sourced, farm-raised, and collected ethically after death. Butterfly/Insect farming practices across the globe assist in protecting the natural habitats of these critters from commercial farming and deforestation. This helps to maintain populations of all flora and fauna on the protected land, promoting more habitat for procreation. Moreover, locals in these areas can earn a fair wage through farming while simultaneously preventing deforestation.
*** COLORFUL INSECTS - BUTTERFLY SYMBOLISM & SPIRITUALISM ***
The butterfly has been a symbol of transformation, hope and faith for thousands of years. The butterfly is also a symbol of rebirth since it goes through so many life cycles -- from larva to caterpillar to chrysallis and finally to a beautiful, flying butterfly. Butterfly symbolism can also be associated with transformation, hope, change, a fresh start, growth and development, and inner peace. If you are seeing butterflies often or feel drawn to them in any way, it could be a positive sign that you need to embrace change in your life.
