Current AFB News:
Research: The AFB is studying shipping methods, boxes, and ice packs. Packages are currently being shipped with thermometers inside and outside the foam box to determine which type box, ice pack, and shipping company offers the safest yet most economical shipping method for shipment of butterfly eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults.
Conservation: The AFB is curently in conversation with the Girl Scout Organization in two states on a trial basis. After the trial project is completed, The Girl Scouts of America will consider this project as a nationwide badge butterfly conservation project. The girls will learn about butterflies, butterfly lifecycles. butterfly gardens, burtterfly habitats and more. The depth of their project to earn the appropriate badge will depend upon their age. Each level will work 'for butterflies' to a deeper degree. (2006 Conservation; the Baltimore project. The AFB continues to financially support the Washington Area's Butterfly Club's Baltimore Checkerspot Restoration Project.)
Farming: The AFB's online 'Disease in Lepidoptera course' will be held again May 12-30. AFB's 'Painted Lady Rearing Course' will be held April 14th - May 9th.
