Looking for commercially available Mexican species

[ren]

Hello,

I was thinking about doing a Mexican-themed butterfly display (with a pretty Mexican bromeliad picture).

So, I want a lovely Mexican butterfly for it.

However, the store I am getting my butterflies for does not have any sourced from Mexico itself.

It does have a lot from Peru, and others from S. America.  So maybe I can butterflies that range wider than Mexico itself.

Can anyone suggest attractive, commercially available butterflies that can be found in Mexico (as well as elsewhere)?

Hmm, I did think of the Monarch butterfly... any others?

Prepona, Parides and Papilio are splendid in Mexico.
If you need some, send me a PM.

Thank you for the offer!
Unfortunately, I can't deal with the paperwork to ship them here.
Is there any individual species you could suggest I look for on this side of the pond (USA)?

I would look for Papilio garamas.

Thank you!
