Recently we were alerted by our supplier, Ma. Corona Butterfly Farm Culture in the Philippines, that this week’s pupae shipment would be smaller than normal due to the very hot season. Life Sciences Manager, Sarah Moore noted, however, that the shipment does include sixty Papilio palinurus “which will really brighten up the place!”

Come and enjoy!
