USDA Rules

The United States Department of Agriculture regulates the shipment of Butterflies across State lines in the United States. There are just 9 species of butterflies that are allowed to be shipped across state lines. We only ship 4 of the 9 species. Each State also governs which species are allowed into their respective State. Below is the USDA chart listing the State ( in alphabetical order ) and which butterfly species that are permited to be shipped into that State.

* The USDA does not allow us to ship Monarch butterflies across the Continental Divide therefore we cannot ship Monarchs to States West of the Rockie Mountains. If you live in a State West of the Continental Divide you will need to contact a dealer located in your region that is permitted to ship Monarchs to your State.

** Although Zebra Longwings can be shipped to Louisiana, Mississippi & Texas, they cannot be shipped from Florida. If you live in one of these States and want Zebra Longwings, you will need to contact a dealer within one of those States to purchase them.
