The language barrier is not necessarily the problem. Things have been changing down there only to an extremely slow limited extent there. I do know there's a lot of butterflies there, including Monarchs, but not a lot of info available. Hopefully, there will come one day more freedom and more access to the net soon

Here is a link that might be useful: Will Cuba Get an Internet Boom?

I seems to me so critical because already a rush
To "get in there" has started!

There is no way that loss of habitat on the island
Will not be coming.

I would like to see at least a survey of current
Resident butterflies before they are lost.
I would suggest specimens,as well as caterpillars
Be taken.

To get food plants out alive would probably not
Be possible.

Because of hurricanes the diversity & numbers
Of butterflies may not be so great.

I am going to do a Net search to find papers
On butterflies & Cuba; there's probably some...

I have already been to the Florida Keys.
I live so close to the Florida line I just might
Go down with my RV and set up in one of the
Parks...then fly over to Cuba!
