EXCITING NEWS FOR SPRING

We will have butterfly adoptions coming in spring, summer & fall. Monarch butterflies in a lovely bug box with magnifying glass adoptions for release that can be used as part of an education program. (Only for east of the Rockies.) We hope to provide these for $7.00 plus $5.00 shipping. Let us know if this is of interest to you by an e-mail to iracavazos@hotmail.com.
