This moving and complex documentary looks into the butterfly trade on Sulawesi Island in Indonesia. Butterflies are an important means of subsistence for the people who live there, with each specimen earning its catcher a penny or two. The idea of a butterfly trade might sound ancient, but the internet has enabled a modern market. Indonesia’s rules around the butterfly trade are complicated at best, and legal sales are difficult to distinguish from the black market. The people shown here are the beginning of this trade-which ends with collectors and enthusiasts who sometimes pay thousands of dollars for butterflies that will be displayed under glass.
Read the entire story, “Inside the Murky world of Butterfly Catchers,” which is featured in the August 2018 issue of National Geographic.

This breaks my heart. They're beautiful insects that plays a major role in the environment and ecosystem. Something like is bound to get the ecosystem off balance, and they will see changes in their environment, sooner if not later. I don't blame them entirely as people who buy these are equally responsible for this act of cruelty. As a tourist, I would rather see a colorful landscape, with butterflies flying around, rather than seeing them frozen... unnaturally. Thanks for sharing National Geographic.

@@victoriathomas731 butterfly farms are not comparable to fur farms at all. The butterflies in farms live their whole lifespan in an enclosure about the size of a football field. They reproduce and die, as they would in nature. These creatures only live 7-14 days once they emerge from their cocoon, so after they die the farms collect the butterflies and they can be sold. Fur farms obviously don't do any of that..so butterfly farms are certainly not comparable to the fur trade.

To spiders (and pretty much all arachnids and insects) you are some big monster that can easily kill them so they want to get the heck away from you so they don't get squashed.

LagiNaLangAko23 moth larvae are those little inchworms, right? Like caterpillars. They're not even that fast. The way spiders and some insects scurry and dart around in random directions is a method to throw off predators, including humans (I wouldn't be surprised if they evolved a behavior just to deal with humans). Ever heard of harvestmen (aka daddy long legs)? Hundreds of them clump together into this little mass that looks like a ball of fluff. When something disturbs this mass, they all scatter everywhere at once, resulting in a confused predator or a screaming human XD.

This also seems like another problem humans should fix. With butterflies getting caught in the thousands every day they wont be able to pollinate the flowers in the area so then there would be a decrease in vegetables and butterflies and with that farmers would get less money. With less money they wont be able to buy as much and may starve. With that we might not be able to eat as many veggies and the price of then will go up. But this if humans don’t fix it. If we help the bees and butterflies then this will be stopped. But if we dont it goes in a loop and we feel the pain of what we did. (Sorry this is so long )

Habitat loss is the real problem here, entomologists provide key information because bugs are bioindicators, insects reproduce by tens to hundreds of eggs because they usually have high posibilities to get predated on, by not letting people collect, you don't know how an habitat is doing, same habitats that later get destroyed by forestry companies, cattle activity and mining, like in brazil or chile

Their populations are ALREADY declining in every continent, which is why I'm worried. Insects such as butterflies are indicators of healthy ecosystems because they are fragile and sensitive to change. Once you start seeing less and less of them, that's how you know something is wrong. Without pollinators, plants don't reproduce and we don't eat. Their gov needs to create better jibs for them

@@jdrawsshit4837 @Just bc a plant is capable of using it's own pollen to reproduce, doesn't mean it WILL. Pollen needs to be transferred and moved around for that to happen. If you were to leave a self pollinating flower in a room with no movement, no air circulation chances are that you would get very poor pollination results. Pollinators will only increase your chances of it being successful As for air pollinating plants, yes that may be true, but most plants are not like that and usually relying on wind to pollinate is much harder for plants bc it's less specific. A lot of plants rely on butterflies and other insects with a long proboscis to move pollen around, both in the wild and in our agriculture. The butterfly is just one example of pollinator, but they aren't the only ones being negatively affected by the way humans treat the environment

He says that he cant sustain life without catching butterflies. Like what have you been doing otherwise ? all other people who catch them? If the cycle has to stop, Butterfly enthusiasts, Museums should stop buying.

With confidence and conscience can any one say that life of a particular living thing on this planet is safe and secure? Yes we will, right on the day when humans go extinct.

In butterfly farms they do. Butterflies have short lifespans, some less than a week, so farming them is not cruel and they live their whole lifespan. Only buy from ethical sources if you are interested in this sort of thing.

Poor Indonesia. From palmoil to butterflies, one of the most biodiverse hotspots on this planet is just getting systematically ravaged by the so called 'developed' countries. Seems like its only going to stop when the last butterfly is dead and the last jungle patches are cleared for palm oil plantations.

@@whabazoo107 Cockroaches, spiders, and ants aren't threatened and can become invasive in your homes. BUTTERFLIES are important aspects to nature because like other pollinators, they are responsible for the food production and reproduction of plants. They are also indicators of a healthy environment because of their fragility. Less butterflies means an unhealthy ecosystem
