Where do the mounted butterflies come from?

In these breeders, butterflies complete their full natural lifecycle: they are born, live, and die naturally. Only after natural death are they carefully mounted.
This approach contributes to conservation, biodiversity, and supports local communities that depend on this sustainable form of butterfly breeding.
