Prickly Ash Branches with Leaves, 150 pcs - Food for Swallowtail Butterfly Larvae

?Thank you for a wonderful year filled with enjoyable conversations with many repeat customers. We look forward to your continued patronage in 2026! (*^-^*)

?We generally ship on the same day for purchases and payments made by 12:00 PM. If stock is available, we can also ship on the same day for purchases and payments made around 5:00 PM.

?The number of leaves may vary slightly depending on their size, but the overall volume (approximately 1g per leaf) remains the same as before.

?We take great care in preparing our leaves, including removing thorns, eliminating parasite eggs, and shipping daily regardless of weather conditions. We pride ourselves on the meticulous attention we give to our leaves, which are grown with care, unlike those haphazardly collected from unknown locations or roadsides. We believe that feeding larvae with unknown origins is extremely risky.

?As the rainy season ends, you may find leaves with slight blackening on the underside, minor tears, or curled edges. These are natural and are where eggs are typically laid and larvae are observed feeding and growing in the wild. We have confirmed that thousands of larvae successfully emerge each year after feeding on our imperfect leaves.

?We strive to ensure a stable supply of food plants from April to the end of November each year. Therefore, we offer all the food plants we can obtain, as we cannot afford to waste even a single branch unless absolutely necessary.

?We ensure adequate hydration and moisture retention before shipping. By taking the packages directly to the Yamato Transport service center for the 7:00 PM final pickup, we avoid the unnecessary delays associated with shipping from convenience stores or post offices. For nearby locations, the packages are transported overnight and delivered to your mailbox by morning. Like leafy vegetables, storing the leaves in the vegetable crisper of your refrigerator will extend their freshness.

?For regions that typically take two days for delivery (Okinawa, Kyushu, Shikoku, Hokkaido, and the far ends of Honshu), please understand that delivery may take longer and purchase accordingly.
