Resin coated Butterfly's grown in Thailand

It might surprise you to know that butterfly collecting actually helps the

Earth'sociology since it allows local people to raise butterflies to support

their families,giving them an incentive to maintain the rainforests and

jungles! Butterflies live only a week or two and mate immediately after

emerging from their chrysalis. The female lays eggs as quickly as possible

on the plant preferred by the species - if those plants are kept available!
