Start A Butterfly Farming Business

Butterfly farming is another overlooked business opportunity. Starting a butterfly farming business is pretty straightforward.

You need a temperature and humidity-controlled location and ensure pesticide-free host plants. Other supplies include caterpillar raising containers, disinfectant, breeder cages, and adult cages.

Once the eggs hatch and become caterpillars, it takes weeks before they transform into butterflies ready for sale. The butterflies can yield thousands of dollars in annual revenue within a few years.

Demand for butterflies has skyrocketed in the past few years. The advantage of raising butterflies is they mature very fast, and their demand is high.
