MIXED SELECTIONS OF TROPICAL PUPAE<br />
For ease or for preference, you may prefer to elect for a mix of pupae, rather than - or as<br />
well as - selecting individual species. To this end, <strong>London</strong> <strong>Pupae</strong> <strong>Supplies</strong> are pleased to<br />
offer two distinct mixes.<br />
Note: actual contents of mixes will vary depending on av<strong>ai</strong>lable stock but will always<br />
cont<strong>ai</strong>n pupae to our usual high standard with a good variety and at excellent value for<br />
the individual pupa price indicated. Minimum order of a mix is 20 pupae.<br />
GDMix - GLOBAL DELUXE MIX - £1.90 / €2.30 per pupa. This<br />
mix is drawn from all our breeding sources and may include some of<br />
the more expensive pupae such as Morphos and Caligos.<br />
Terrific value for money!<br />
All mixes will cont<strong>ai</strong>n pupae to a higher value than their individual cost would be!<br />
GSMix - GLOBAL STANDARD MIX - £0.90 / €1.10 per pupa<br />
This mix comprises species m<strong>ai</strong>nly sourced from our own breeding<br />
farms, which allows us to offer them at a very competitive price.<br />

Sust<strong>ai</strong>nability in Costa Rica<br />
The butterfly farm Kasiri is located on the Caribbean slope of Costa Rica and consists of 100 hectares of land, where<br />
about half of the farm is still primary r<strong>ai</strong>nforest. The rem<strong>ai</strong>ning half is old cattle pastures that have been left to rege nerate.<br />
One hectare of the farm is devote d to the production of butterfly<br />
pupae for export, an activity that has proven to be the<br />
sust<strong>ai</strong>nable alternative to agriculture. Butterfly production at<br />
Kasiri was started when looking for an environmentally<br />
friendly way of life as well as an interesting possibility to<br />
generate a new sources of income and employment for surrounding<br />
farmer families as well as for the indigenous Cabécar<br />
people living in the vicinity - when a traditional farmer<br />
looks at the forest he sees something to cut down for more<br />
pasture and cattle; here, it has become something to be protected!<br />
The Surrounding Area<br />
The farm is equipped with seven mesh enclosures where the<br />
butterflies lay their eggs on host plants. The process is one<br />
of constant collections. With some butterfly species, it is the<br />
egg that will be collected inside the enclosures so they can<br />
hatch under controlled conditions in the small and rustic<br />
laboratory. With others, mostly because of less natural<br />
enemies (such as ants, spiders, crickets, wasps etc) the<br />
eggs are left to hatch inside the enclosures and then collected<br />
in different stages of development to then be fed<br />
inside the laboratory.<br />
Conservation Project<br />
*Kasiri co-operated with the non-profit N<strong>ai</strong>ri Foundation,<br />
an organization set up specifically to establish the preservation<br />
of the area known as the Barbilla National Park<br />
(some 12,000 hectares/30,000 acres), a one hour walk<br />
from the Kasiri farm. Tropical r<strong>ai</strong>nforests are being cut at a<br />
staggering rate; Kasiri and Barbilla are positive examples<br />
of conservation.<br />
The Surrounding Area<br />
*Support and strengthening of Indian culture. ”Without our forest we can´t continue as Indians”, s<strong>ai</strong>d one Cabécarman.<br />
He was talking about the Cabécar Indians’ living in the r<strong>ai</strong>nforest close to Kasiri and referring to their lifestyle being so<br />
closely interrelated with the environme nt.<br />
The owners of Kasiri believe that giving knowledge, creativity and self-respect and identification to tCabécar Girl Studyinghe<br />
members of the younger Cabécar generations are important ingredients to strengthen Cabécar culture, so that<br />
they can find ways to participate in the democratic process. The Cabécar represent a people with a culture and political<br />
system that have a lot to give and learn about human wisdom - they have an important and elemental conviction: the<br />
ones who wast or destroy what nature gives, destroy life itself.<br />

Sust<strong>ai</strong>nability in Th<strong>ai</strong>land<br />
Situate d some 30 kilometres northeast of Ch<strong>ai</strong>ngm<strong>ai</strong> in northern<br />
Th<strong>ai</strong>land, on the edge of the forest/jungle, we have a 15 acre farm<br />
that concentrates on breeding local "commom" species of butterflies<br />
and moths, such as Papilio polytes, Papilio memnon and the<br />
atlas moth. We do not breed, or attempt to breed any rare or endangered<br />
species.<br />
The farm has been established over 20 years, and currently employs<br />
17 people on a full-time basis, thereby supporting some 15 families.<br />
It is fully lice nsed by the Th<strong>ai</strong> Royal Forestry Department to produce<br />
a range of some 40 species of butte rflies and moths and is regularly<br />
inspecte d by the authorities.<br />
We only very rarely take butterflies from the wild to stock our farm<br />
A <strong>Pupae</strong> Room<br />
and inject fresh genetic material; the vast majority of our production<br />
comes from lines of livestock that have been captive bred for very<br />
many years (captive breeding is a requirement of most exporting<br />
countries so that natural stocks are not depleted).<br />
The Breeding Programme<br />
Potting the Food Plants<br />
The "pare nt" butterflies are kept in<br />
very large netting enclosures,<br />
where there are provided with the<br />
right environme nt for that particular<br />
species. We provide plenty of flowering plants to produce the nectar of which the<br />
adult butterflies live and also the species-specific host plant for the female butterfly<br />
to lay her eggs on.<br />
Twice a day, the newly l<strong>ai</strong>d butterfly<br />
eggs are collected and<br />
store d in special plastic cont<strong>ai</strong>ners.<br />
After about five days the<br />
baby caterpillars emerge from<br />
Netted Breeding Area<br />
the eggs and start to feed on the host plant leaves. At this point we<br />
transfer the baby caterpillars to special cages in the nursery area,<br />
where they are given a fresh le aves every day.<br />
A <strong>Pupae</strong> Room<br />
After approximately 21 days the then adult caterpillars crawl to a<br />
corner of the cage and shed their final skin to become a chrysalis -<br />
ready to merge into and adult butterfly in approximately three<br />
weeks time.<br />

Sust<strong>ai</strong>nability in the Philippines<br />
Here there are several very small farms, in comparison<br />
to Chiangm<strong>ai</strong>, scattered in different parts of the Philippines<br />
exclusively in very rural areas or small villages.<br />
The largest one is situated in the island of Bohol with<br />
breeding facilities scattered among family members'<br />
land.<br />
Foodplants are cultivated in nearby av<strong>ai</strong>lable lands<br />
and are collected as and when neede d; sometimes as<br />
often as everyday in the busiest time of the year. On<br />
this island there are also several other breeders who<br />
have small rearing cages and nurseries in their back<br />
garden. Most of these breeders have a very low income<br />
from other sources and therefore rely on butterfly<br />
farming to m<strong>ai</strong>nt<strong>ai</strong>n a reasonable income for<br />
their family.<br />
Netted Breeding Areas<br />
Other small farms that exclusively supply us with pupae are on the islands of Romblon,and Palawan. Ag<strong>ai</strong>n, on these<br />
islands, there are small suppliers breeding in their back<br />
garden as in the case in Bohol. Altogether these farms<br />
help several families, either for their full income or to<br />
supplement those with very low income; some breed full<br />
time and othe rs work around 3 days a week to keep production<br />
sust<strong>ai</strong>nable.<br />
Idea Leuconoe Feeding<br />
Each island has a "mother farm" for w hich permits are<br />
require d, both from the local and national government<br />
authorities, to operate. All the other little farms or "back<br />
garden breeders" are included and have to be specifically<br />
cited on the mothe r farm's permits so that they can<br />
operate legally. This is a procedure strictly implemented<br />
by the government to prevent individuals from catching<br />
butterflies in the wild (although it should be emphasised<br />
that without proper breeding, it would be impossible to<br />
sust<strong>ai</strong>n a business like this by merely "wild harvesting").<br />
The Breeding Programme<br />
All the butterfly pupae are collected from farms twice aweek for export; they are<br />
transported to Manila, the capital, for a final quality check and for export licensing<br />
and documentation. The process for export documentation takes2 or 3 days<br />
which means ithas to be starte d few days prior to shipping day.<br />
The ope ration in the Philippines re quires several other full time employees; each<br />
has their own responsibilities - from de aling with legal requirements for farms<br />
and facilitating export documentation, organising internal transportation of<br />
butterfly pupae from farms to Manila, and the quality control checking and<br />
packing of the pupae for export.<br />
In a country where the devastation of natural calamities have been aggravated<br />
by years of abuse of its own natural resources by its people, it is even more important<br />
that this kind of farming, a nature friendly one, is encouraged and practised.<br />
