Tropical Butterfly Exports
Morpho peleides resting on a leaf with its blue wings open

They leave Costa Rica as pupae and emerge in your butterfly house.

We supply 50 tropical species and export them live to butterfly houses, museums and science centers. We work with Costa Rican breeders, keep a recorded cold chain from end to end, and replace every pupa that doesn't emerge.

All are exported as pupae and quoted per order, based on quantity and destination.

Every pupa we ship comes with a written commitment.

We don't donate a vague percentage at the end of the year. Every butterfly sold is tied by a fixed rule to a specific project, the rule is public, and your account calculates your share with that same rule.
