Native Butterfly Mix | Assorted PUPAE
The Native Butterfly pupae mix may contain any of the native species we breed: Peacocks, Small Tortoiseshells, Commas, Red Admirals, Painted Ladies, Whites, Orange Tips, Camberwell Beauties - all of which are easy and very enjoyable to hatch out at home. Occasionally, the mix may include Garden Tiger Moths, a beautiful native moth that also eats nettles. Livestock is randomly collected from the butterfly house on the day of dispatch, meaning that no particular species can be guaranteed but you have a chance of receiving any of the species mentioned. If you require a particular species, please order them individually. Please read the care guide produced for these prior to delivery so that you are prepared for them - it is very comprehensive and contains our best information from two decades of practice.
