Morpho peleides demand?

[wingedwishes]

Currently I am receiving Morpho peleides very fresh (ex pupa). When they arrive, they go into the freezer for me to dry, frame, and then sell at a local market. I have more than I need. Do you guys (no gender implied assumed or attributed.....) think there is a market for fresh frozen (not dried) leps if the price is low enough?

Opps! I forgot to mention that they come from Belize and are brought in by the butterfly farm owner.

Here are some of the things it appears that I will have a lot of:

Morpho peleides
Caligo memnon
Archaeoprepona demophoon
Siproeta stelenes
Heliconius hecale

I'm NOT trying to sell in this thread. I'm wondering what you think about selling these fresh specimens with data....

Thanks for your opinions in advance.

I avoid buying dried material because they're dried. I freeze all my extra specimens. At some point, when I find something I want that
can only be purchased dried, that'll be different I suppose.
Frozen could work very well, although you want to avoid a situation I remember reading in bad trades, where the participants didn't seem to be
on the same page, and blame was spread around. Specimens need to stay froze, and once received, need proper care one way or another.
