Luna Moths Raised by Englewood Scientist Sells Across U S

Jim Castner a 28 year old Englewood resident nurtures about 200 luna moth cocoons at home. He is pursuing a master’s in entomology at the University of Florida and notes luna moths take six months to mature then die within a week as adults. Cocoons are shipped to The Butterfly Company in New Jersey for sale to collectors nationwide.

Controversy Over Shock Sentence Law Sparks Appeals

The shock sentence ordinance faces constitutional challenges as it penalties exceed state law for marijuana offenses under 100 pounds. Local officials, including Gardner, defend the measure with limited exceptions for cooperation or case-specific circumstances. The law has been upheld by the Circuit Court after a Houston man’s case, with Public Defender Becky Titus pursuing an appeal to end it. Local officials plan to expand the law to heroin and methalqualone, and Sarasota County agrees to weekend prison labor on the road gang.
