Butterflies & Moths for Exhibits & Displays
JMZ Butterfly Farm supplies live butterflies and moths for educational and public exhibits. Our insects are suitable for museums, botanical gardens, schools, and nature centers that wish to showcase the life cycle and behavior of these species.

Atala Butterfly
Eumaeus atala
The Atala butterfly is a small, striking species native to Florida and the Caribbean. Once thought extinct in Florida, conservation efforts and the planting of coontie palms have helped this species recover. The adults feature iridescent blue-green wings with bright orange-red spots, making them unmistakable in the wild.

Welcome to JMZ Butterfly Farm — Where Transformation Takes Flight
What started as a simple backyard tent and a love for butterflies has grown into something truly magical. We were captivated by their journey—from tiny caterpillars to vibrant butterflies—and inspired by the quiet strength in their transformation.
Without a storefront or a plan, we followed our passion. From building our first greenhouse to relocating to York, SC, we’ve grown alongside the butterflies we care for. In April 2023, everything changed—word spread, and our dream took flight.
Today, JMZ is a place where Monarchs and other native species thrive. We offer live butterfly releases, pollinator education, and a front-row seat to the wonder of metamorphosis.
To us, butterflies are more than beautiful—they’re proof that patience leads to growth, and change brings something extraordinary.
From our family to yours, welcome to JMZ. 🦋
