Butterfly Letters by the legendary Kjell Sandved.

He gave me "Smarter Every Day" for free when he found out what I was doing!

I purchased $65 worth of beautiful butterflies Ianni. They were very professional and easy to work with. Their website is great. I recommend working with them. They got me some really good specimens in a timely manner.

If you remember Mr. John the butterfly farmer from Episode 96, He gave me the sunset moth!
