| Shipping Butterflies for a Butterfly Release |
|
A frequent question for butterfly farmers is: "How will my butterflies arrive?"
Each farmer may
ship butterflies a bit differently and instructions for care after arrival may vary slightly. The general shipment and care
are the same from farmer to farmer.
Butterflies are shipped to arrive the next day. They should be packed in an insulated box
with an ice pack to keep the butterflies cool. This places them in an inactive state and they 'snooze' during the shipment.
Upon arrival, the ice pack is refrozen to keep the butterflies cool until an hour or two before the release. Full instructions should
be included with each order, no matter which farmer you choose.
The farmer should hold an USDA APHIS PPQ526 permit to ship butterflies into your
state unless he/she is located within your state. These permits are not required to be included in the shipment. Monarch butterflies
are not allowed to be shipped across the continental divide. If your chosen farmer is on the other side of the continental divide, he/she
should have Monarchs (if you have chosen Monarchs) drop-shipped for your event from a farmer on the same side of the divide as your
release will be held.
