[QUOTE="tgrimes, post: 335981, member: 11647"] You are correct. In my experience interstate transport of butterflies not on the list is prohibited without permit but intrastate transport is allowed for any native species to that state. These rules seem to change regularly. In the past I could get zebra longwings from a breeder in Florida but now they have found that the subspecies in Texas is different from the one in Florida so the Department of Agriculture (DOA) will not allow transport of zebra longwings to Texas from Florida. I once bred butterflies and had to go through a whole inspection process with the DOA of my containment facility before receiving any butterflies from out of state even if that species is native. If it crosses state lines then the DOA gets involved. [/QUOTE]
