John Utterback –
I was first introduced to this publication many years ago, when I was contemplating raising Painted Ladies for my business. I found the publication to be very informative, well-illustrated, and rich in content. You also will find it quite thorough as it describes the Painted Ladies ranges, host plants, breeding, feeding techniques with artificial diet, and valuable business start-up information.
I highly recommend this publication whether you are interested in raising Painted Ladies or simply a butterfly enthusiast wanting to expand on your knowledge. Nigel Venter’s publications are read and respected world-wide, and you will find his writing style very easy to read. This publication is a great addition to anyone’s library.
