Connect with bow: Start selling stalls to sell butterfly specimens at college

In 1987, Peng Hua studied biological majors when he was in school at Northwest Agricultural and Forestry University of Agriculture and Forestry. During his studies in college, he partnered with several classmates to make butterflies for specimens for sale.

"At that time, I made money, but it was not much." Peng Hua said that even when it was sold on the roadside stalls at school, someone would buy it. By the end of the year, one person could make more than 10,000 yuan.

Ten years ago, he graduated from Penghua University and a college student village official in Sucheng District, Su Suqian City. At that time, supporting village officials to start a business, Peng Hua was engaged in the production and sale of butterfly specimens, and the butterfly "renewed the forefront".

At the beginning, Peng Hua's business was not good, and he could not do a few orders a month. After a year, sales were only 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. Later, with the rise of e -commerce, Peng Hua put the butterfly specimen on online sales. Slowly, the market began to get better and better. At present, his annual sales revenue is 700,000 to 800,000 yuan.

Trouble in breeding: Parasitic bee eat light butterfly larvae

The butterflies made from Peng Hua are mostly purchased from abroad, mainly in South America and Southeast Asia. These butterflies have high added value and are more profitable. Some rare varieties can be sold to thousands of yuan.

Peng Hua's capture parasite net cage

However, it has been produced for a long time in the butterfly specimen. Peng Hua slowly has new ideas.

Just do it, Peng Hua first planted a few host plants to try it in a small net cover. After accumulating preliminary breeding experience, in 2018, Peng Hua rented 6 acres of land at the mouth of the mouth of Sucheng District, invested 300,000 to 400,000 yuan, expanded the scale of breeding, and set up a "butterfly farm" to achieve his heart. "Butterfly Dream".

After groping, Peng Hua clarified the owner of the butterflies of different varieties: the host trees of citrus and birds include pepper, orange trees, and cork trees. The common cumin is the owner of the golden swallower.

"Butterfly Farm

Planting the host plant, as long as you provide sufficient plants and suitable temperatures, the butterfly can naturally grow the butterfly to produce the eggs on the leaves, and then hatch the larvae. , Eat the nectar under the host plant, and then lay eggs. In this way, it is repeated.

Peng Hua said that the most afraid of butterfly breeding is to encounter parasitic bees. "This small parasitic bee will produce its own eggs into the body of the butterfly larva. In a few days, from one or two parasite bees, it will breed to tens of thousands of. "Parasitic eggs grew up in the body of the butterfly larvae, and the caterpillar was empty.

After being accidentally "dangled" by parasitic bees, the butterfly larvae of Peng Hua were eaten, causing a lot of losses. In order to prevent the butterfly larvae from being damaged, Peng Hua thought about a response. "When the larvae will become a pupae, we will grab it, and then put it in the cage alone. In this way, it will reduce its parasitic bee. "

"Butterfly Dream" in "Butterfly Manor": To cultivate more butterfly varieties

Peng Hua introduced that at present, there are six or seven varieties such as gold spots, green spots, citrus phoenix butterflies, and green butterflies in his butterfly garden. It can produce about 50,000 butterflies a year.

In Peng Hua's view, it is not difficult to raise butterflies. As long as the host plant of the butterfly is planted, half of them are completed. Therefore, Peng Hua's habit of the butterflies of each breed is fingered. This year's farm only raised citrus phoenix butterflies and jade band phoenix butterflies, as well as a small amount of Bi Teng Butterfly, "mainly because some host plants did not feed."

At present, Peng Hua raised butterflies, eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults are mainly sold through the Internet. A wholesale price is 1.5 yuan to 2 yuan, and the annual income is nearly 100,000 yuan. Peng Hua said that some tourist scenic spots will buy butterflies flying, some do travel, and some weddings fly, and some parents will buy it home as pets for children to cultivate their children's observation.

The butterflies made by Peng Hua are mainly purchased from abroad. After making specimens, they are sold to Beijing, Shanghai and some coastal cities. At present, Peng Hua sells butterflies and specimens through e -commerce. When there are many times a month can sell thousands of copies, and the monthly sales are tens of thousands of yuan.

Peng Hua said that he will breed more butterflies, broaden sales channels, extend the industrial chain, and realize the "butterfly dream" in his heart.
