About Us

 Resolution on House floor presented and passed during the 84th session.

We attend regular Texas State Comptroller task force meetings on threatened and endangered species and advise the board.

 We've spent the last 15 years performing community service and building relationships with elementary school administrators, teachers, and students. We've taken a butterfly sanctuary trailer full of plants and all stages of the life cycle of the Texas state insect, the monarch butterfly, to school campuses and community events. We've had over 35,000 children go through the sanctuary.  In many instances we've provided plants for classroom rearing of monarchs for a science project. Bringing nature to the school saves schools the expense of off campus field trips and raising the butterflies in classrooms proves to be a memorable experience for the children. 

Craig the Butterfly Man also represented the State of Texas as part of the International Tent at The Texas Outdoor Expo hosted by The Texas Parks & Wildlife Department for the last two years.

 We've perfected a simple ecologically and scientist  approved butterfly hatchery system to demonstrate to citizen scientist how they can protect the stages of monarch butterflies. Citizens can raise butterflies in their house in a window and release healthy butterflies to further breed and multiply in the wild. Public gardens, like Riemann Gardens at Iowa State University, have worked to perfect raising techniques.
