Who are we?

Butterfly Adventures is an enthusiastic team which combines the skills of an entomologist, science communicators, qualified teachers, farmers, conservationists, science communicators, researchers and performers. We aim to make our excitement about butterflies, insects, and the natural world accessible for everyone to enjoy.

We have been operating for 20 years to produce at home and in school experiences through our Chrysalis and Caterpillar Kits; a Butterfly Release to help celebrate someone or something special; community and public engagement through our Butterfly Gazebo; educational experiences with our entertaining Incursions and fun addition to a birthday with a Butterfly Party.

Why us?

At Butterfly Adventures, we’re passionate about providing engaging, hands-on experiences that are also grounded in care, science, and ethics. Every butterfly we raise and every program we offer is designed with the wellbeing of both animals and children in mind.

Bred with Care, In-House

All our butterflies are bred by us right here at Butterfly Adventures. This means we can ensure they’re healthy, safe, and nurtured from egg through to butterfly. With years of experience and a deep love for what we do, we’re proud to be a trusted resource for others in the field.

Only the Right Species, in the Right Places

We work with butterfly species that naturally occur in different parts of Australia—primarily Monarchs and Orchard Swallowtails—and we only send butterflies to areas where the local environment supports their survival and wellbeing. This helps protect both the butterflies and our ecosystems.

Seasonal, Sensible Shipping

We only ship butterfly kits during the times of year and to the locations where conditions are right. Because butterflies are sensitive to temperature, we take great care to avoid sending them when it’s too cold or otherwise unsuitable for their development and survival after release.

Ethics Are Everything

Animal welfare is at the heart of everything we do. From our breeding practices and chrysalis housing to our packaging and delivery methods along with our educational messaging. Our goal is to create enriching, respectful experiences—for people and butterflies alike.

What Inspires us?

All of us at Butterfly Adventures have strong environmental attitudes. We are passionate about sustainability, conservation, and education. Butterflies are an important part of the environment in their role as pollinators, they are crucial for vegetables, fruits, flowers, and our native plants. They are part of the ecosystem food chain at every stage of their life cycle as well as being bioindicators. This means they help us measure the health of an environment. Simply put, the more butterflies there are, the healthier our environment is!

Our products and services add more butterflies to the environment while also bringing joy, wonder and knowledge along their journey. We want to have people, of all ages, excited about the natural world around them!

We are here to support educational institutions, organisations, and councils, through our numerous programs in achieving their environmental and educational goals.
