Disease is in nature.
Some butterfly diseases are used to spray forests, gardens, and yards.
We encourage everyone who raises butterflies,
from the classroom to the kitchen table to the laboratory;
Let's fight disease together!

Research and careful rearing techniques are essential.

Disease is in nature so be very careful. Be sure your breeding stock is clean.
