Why we observe life cycles naturally instead of using purchased caterpillars

Monarchs Across Georgia strongly discourages the purchase or release of any commercially-reared butterflies. Commercial rearing can result in genetically inferior organisms, reduction of genetic diversity, introduction of disease, inbreeding, as well as, the introduction of species and genetics not native to the area. MAG does not promote hand-pairing to rear successive generations of butterflies as this also encourages inbreeding and genetically inferior species. It may also result in the release of butterfly species at times when they are not normally found in Georgia.
