About Me

Kathy Marshburn feels a strong personal connection to butterflies and started commercially breeding in 2002. Some of her favorite butterflies are the zebra longwing, spicebush swallowtail and the malachite. She served on the board of directors of the International Butterfly Breeders Association for nine years including three years as President. In addition to leadership abilities, Kathy also enjoys event management as she has taken the lead in heading up The Butterfly Professionals Conventions for many years. The IBBA trips to exotic destinations are also planned by Kathy.

Kathy’s favorite aspect of butterfly releases is the deep and personal connection it creates for those involved in commemorating life events.
