Where can i find a person specialized in butterfly farming?

I am wanting to construct a butterfly farm and want to hire a specialist in this field. Where do I begin to find someone that can do the job?|||The experts you need will depend on where you live.





Most eco-friendly lanscapers, garden designers and horticultural types know what plants butterfly grubs need to eat (most butterfly grubs have specific food plants on which they lay their eggs) and can recommend food/nectar plants for the adult butterflies.








If you want to intensively breed butterflies for sale you need to advertise for a Lepidopterist. They are experts with caging, feeding and breeding.





If you want to import and export butterflies you will need a lawyer who knows the physanitary laws of different countries. A butterfly in one country can become a pest in another. In most countries there are laws about catching and transporting some butterfly types.








I would recommend that you contact botanists, colleges, universities and get their opinion on what courses the person should have done.|||I would enquire through your nearest zoo or botanical gardens . Both have the need to use such a person , ie food for birds and animals , and pollination of certain plants via specific butterflies . Worth a try . Good luck.
