Butterfly farming is "green"

Raising butterflies is definitely a "green" thing to do. Those who raise and release butterflies are helping the environment. Next to bees, butterflies are very important pollinators. With all the focus on the mysterious illnesses that are contributing to the deaths of hives, we may want to consider and encourage the release of butterflies. Other pollinators include bats, hummingbirds, moths and other insects. Butterfly farming is the only industry that raises "livestock" solely for the purpose of letting it go free.
