True...you can order butterflies (typically painted lady butterflies are used for classrooms). Unfortunately, they're being bred out west and released all over the place. Many butterfly geneticists have screamed about the release practise for years. Even folks who rear locals for their experiments typically do not release lab-reared specimens to the wild. There are far more mutations that survive in lab-reared stock...that I can attest to from experience. When I've used the mail-order kits in class, I just let them survive in cages and they eventually die during the semester.
