butterfly farms where they are non subjected to the challenges of their wild

That is the viewpoint from a collector, of course. If we don't
produce any artifacts now, there won't be anything to collect later.
The basic concept has been brought up several times over the last many

With an IR filter in front of the lens, and a normal IR cut filter on
