Butterfly Gear has been asked to publish a poster on Butterflies of the Karoo. The Karoo, unique to South Africa, has some unique butterflies, which are featured on this new poster, which will be available soon. Please e-mail Steve at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with your address and order! The price is the same as Garden Butterflies... R70 per copy including p&p., or R50 if you collect.

You can now purchase prints of Steve Woodhall's butterfly photographs online from PictureBox.

You can go to Steve's Gallery to order the prints, and the Galleries (menu, left) show what's available. Here are a couple of examples:

Butterfly Gear has published a new poster - Butterfly Lives. This covers the life history of six of our best-known butterflies - Citrus swallowtail, Blue pansy, African monarch, Garden acraea, Common blue, and African migrant.

The new poster is available now. Please e-mail Steve at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with your address and order! The price is the same as Garden Butterflies... R70 per copy including p&p., or R50 if you collect.

Garden Butterflies was ButterflyGear's first poster.

It's a great educational tool, and allows environment-concerned gardeners to identify 40 butterflies most likely to be seen in gardens around South Africa.

ButterflyGear has decided not to continue with VirtueMart, as the banks seem to want to take all our hard earned profits and leave nothing for us!

Our friends at SOS are developing a shopping basket that will take you to an e-mail to us with automatic generation of an invoice and a bank notification.

All about Butterfly Gear...

Butterfly Gear is Africa's first site dealing in butterfly (and moth!) related items.

It is a part-time business run by a small team of myself: Steve Woodhall and my wife Jayne. The idea is to start small and add product lines as the business grows.

Have a look at the product categories, and see what we have!

Our e-commerce shop is still under construction.

Until we have the e-commerce site up and running, please e-mail your order to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

The price of posters in SA is R70.00 including P&P, sent in a sturdy cardboard tube.

As a special offer, additional posters can be sent as part of the same shipment, up to 10, at R30 each.

Please include your postal and physical addresses, and a copy of proof of payment to this account:
