Swallowtail breeding workshops

[Adam Cotton]

I thought I should mention two online swallowtail breeding workshops, the first of which starts tomorrow (Monday 21st May)and the second will be held in July. The first workshop consists of 8 informative papers covering different aspects of swallowtail rearing which can be downloaded and discussed on an e-mail group set up for participants. The second workshop will cover more advanced breeding techniques and harder to breed species.

The workshops are run by the well known butterfly farmer Nigel Venters, and I have been asked to assist with technical matters.

The workshop information, registration form and so forth are on the Butterfly Boutique website:

The second workshop will be held between July 9-13, although the discussion group of the first workshop continued for much longer than the stated dates.

I have been working on the draft papers for the second workshop, and must say they contain lots of useful information. Participants are enrolled in an e-mail discussion group where they can ask questions about any aspect of breeding swallowtails and share their own knowledge.

PS. I would like to point out that I am not receiving any financial gain from subscriptions to the workshop, but am assisting for free in order to share my knowledge with participants.

I bought Nigel's CD on hand-pairing swallowtails many years ago. I learned a lot from it.

Just a reminder, as the workshop part 2 is starting on Monday. The papers are all ready for download by participants, so anyone who joins can start downloading and reading the papers tomorrow. The papers are really interesting and full of information gathered during Nigel Venters' 55 years of experience.
