Chapter 5 Case Studies of the Brands of Collectors and Farmers The previous chapter gave an overall picture of the state of insect farming and collecting throughout Papua New Guinea. The following case studies provide an understanding of how this income source is integrated into a range of livelihood strategies. The utilisation of a source of income from insect farming and collecting can be divided into a number of strategies to suit individual situations. The following four case studies represent four such methods of integration: as a sole urban income (butterfly collecting), as an additional urban income (butterfly farming), as a rural income (butterfly farming) and an additional urban income (illegal trading). Interviews for the case studies were conducted informally with brief notes being made during my meetings with the various informants; more detailed notes were made after the interviews were conducted. No structured questionnaires were used and all of the meetings were conducted in Pidgin English. Case Study 1 – Ken Kube The first case study is an example of how butterfly collecting can be used as a sole income in an urban setting. 67
