We exclusively provide native butterfly species and carefully nurture them through every stage of their development—from eggs to emergence. We do not breed or sell tropical butterflies, which, despite their attractiveness, survive only a few hours after release and can disrupt local ecosystems.
Our project helps reintegrate butterflies into our ecosystems, countering their decline caused by pesticide use. Releasing butterflies becomes a meaningful act of environmental restoration. Learn more about our ethical approach…
The Large White butterfly has declined in Europe due to pesticide use. Its caterpillar stage lasts about twenty days, followed by two weeks as a chrysalis, and then it flies for about fifteen days between April and October. It migrates along the Adriatic coast in summer and overwinters as a chrysalis from October to April.
