Breeding Butterflies: A Growing Profitable Niche
The butterfly industry proves profitable as breeders raise common and rare specimens for collectors and institutions. Prices vary from ten cents per captive worm to eighty dollars for certain rare wings, with primary buyers being students and college natural history directors. Breeders use glass or copper wire cages, muslin shelters, and sugar traps to attract scale insects, while maintaining winter quarters and careful timing for renewals.

A hunter uses lamps and box traps to feed on night visiting butterflies, moving quickly to collect dust without harming wings. He claims a large harvest and links a stolen Gioconda to potential market restraints while a Phoenician statuette in the Louvre is noted by the curator in the Journal window.

In Vienna's Weihburggasse a fourteenth century structure, once the Medical Faculty house, housed early dissections. Galoaro of Padua performed Vienna’s first human dissection on February 12 1404, followed by limited later dissections, with a 1452 shift allowing female bodies. The site is now being torn down.
