If your neighborhood is in the inner city and is short on butterflies, you can provide the appropriate resources and order your own caterpillars or butterflies. Several mail-order places will provide educational kits and more.

Quick Tip

Don't raise butterflies without the right food and plants to feed them their entire life span.

Why

Buy butterflies for young children, for a special event, or just for the fun of it.
