Sadly the art of Entomology has often been vilified as macabre or even unethical. However thousands of Entomologists worldwide enjoy breeding and rearing Moths and Butterflies offering a wealth of knowledge and experience hitherto unknown by any other means. These tireless individuals help keep alive breeding programmes and promote conservation. Various release sites have shown that species can be successfully introduced/re-introduced under the correct circumstances. In third world countries insect rearing and sustainable harvesting is helping support local communities.
