Days ago we wrote about a butterfly farm close to San José, this time the Seattle Times reports about butterflies as source of income for many Costa Ricans.

From the article: “The idea to export butterflies from Costa Rica began one day in 1983, when Joris Brinckerhoff, a New Hampshire native and Peace Corps volunteer hitchhiking in the Central American nation, was picked up by a butterfly enthusiast who had heard that people in southeast Asia had begun exporting the insects for exhibit. Brinckerhoff decided to give it a try in Costa Rica.“

In the meantime, the business is doing so well that he hired employees and sells the insects to museums. A pupa is sold for 1-2 US$. More than 100 butterfly farmers are connected to this export company.

If you come to Costa Rica, there is one place you should not miss, even if you come for surfing only: the butterfly farm not far away from San José.

You can get a lot of butterflies to see, in all states of development. You don’t have to be a fan of butterlies to come to this place. This is a part of Costa Rica and tells you a lot about the country. You will see it when you come close to the area and understand.
