We introduce people to the wonderful, amazing, wacky world of bugs via a fun, hands-on approach. Many of these critters play a vital role in the well-being of our planet; pollinating plants, providing food for other life forms, decomposing waste, controlling pest species, and so much more.

We are a highly qualified butterfly consulting company with decades of combined experience performing Lepidoptera surveys throughout the upper Midwest. We have worked on numerous environmental studies for threatened, endangered, and sensitive butterfly species, specializing in presence/absence surveys, butterfly transects, large-scale energy, transmission, and pipeline projects.

Whether you're celebrating the marriage of newly-weds or mourning the loss of a loved one, a live butterfly release can be a wonderful addition to any event. We hand deliver your order of live butterflies, facilitate the release, and ensure you have a one of a kind experience that you’ll remember forever.

Although many natural pollinator habitats have been lost to ever-increasing agricultural and urbanization endeavors globally, individuals are taking a personal interest in developing their home gardens to serve as pollinator-friendly spaces. James & Son Butterfly Co. can help you attract myriad species of butterflies, moths, skippers, bees, beetles, and even hummingbirds by assessing your landscape site, choosing the appropriate plants, proper installation, and plant care to create your own pollinator oasis.
