Meet Little Caterpillar Art

We are a family-owned business residing in beautiful Colorado. We are passionate about the outdoors and everything that dwells within it...even the little things. Jesse has a Bachelor’s in Biology and a Master’s in Entomology. Teresa's focus is in art and design. Together, the two made the perfect match to create their business, Little Caterpillar. Why butterflies? Because the small things matter and can make a BIG impact. Protecting insects means protecting the habitat they live in. This benefits every plant and animal sharing this habitat. Sustainable butterfly farming gives local populations an alternative to logging and clear-cutting rainforests. The forests are preserved, critical habitat for endangered species is maintained, and butterfly populations increase. When you buy from Little Caterpillar, you are working with a company that only works and buys from responsible sellers. Together, we can help protect our beautiful, diverse planet.
