A homemade butterfly farm (also called a butterfly farm) is a memorable gift that will surprise a child and delight parents at an affordable price. Kids love to conduct experiments and become direct participants in them. Especially when it comes to observing living beings.
A real tropical fairy tale unfolds before the children - you can see with your own eyes the process of the appearance of a new butterfly. Those who are thinking not about a gift, but about a new business, should also consider the option of breeding exotic insects. The investment pays off quickly, and the process brings great pleasure.
What is a tropical insect farm?
Should you buy a ready-made butterfly garden or make it yourself? This question arises among parents who are thinking about how to raise a butterfly at home. The farm is a compact box with transparent walls. Hanging inside are pupae raised in other countries, usually in the Philippines or Costa Rica.
With proper care, moths with colorful wings hatch within three weeks. If the insects do not appear, the company where you purchased the set will replace the pupae with new ones free of charge. Butterflies are hypoallergenic and healthy - before being imported into Russia, they undergo strict veterinary control.
The price for a home butterfly garden is affordable. A kit for growing butterflies costs from 1,500 rubles. In addition to the farm and pupae, it usually includes detailed instructions from which you will learn how to care for insects.
