The photo at right is from one of our Florida Mixture Releases (FL only).
Monarch butterflies are available for release states east of the continental divide. Painted Lady butterflies are available throughout most of the lower 48 states. The Florida Mixture butterfly release is available in FL only. All wedding photographs were sent to us by very satisfied clients and used with permission.
The Florida Mixture Release is our speciality (scroll down for interstate shipping of Monarch and Painted Lady Butterfly pricing). The USDA limits the butterfly species that may be shipped across state lines, but inside the state, we can release any butterfly as long as it is native and raised in state. The beauty of the release is the number of different butterflies taking to the air. Not only, in our view and our customer's, our feedback has been nothing but positive, is that the mixture is more entertaining to the eye, it is also more beneficial to nature as the number of species released to the wild is greater.
One or two dozen: $75.00 per dozen
Three or four dozen: $72.00 per dozen
50 Florida Mixture Butterflies: $300.00
100 Florida Mixture Butterflies: $575.00

Please note: We raise eastern Monarch butterflies do not distribute to states west of the Continental Divide. If you plan your release in a western state, you will need to locate a breeder in the west. We also restrict our releases to inside the State of Florida during colder northern climatic periods. The weather is generally good in northern climates from mid April until mid October, but if the past low temperatures for your region reach below 40 degrees Fahrenheit regularly (check your almanac) around your planned date, a release of butterflies is not suggested. In Florida, we provide butterflies for release year round.
