The Readington Balloon Festival had a stall that was selling mounted butterflies, like below. Supposedly there are butterfly farms, from which these butterflies are harvested, coated with some preservative and mounted like shown below.
I overheard the sales people telling some children that, no, the butterflies were not killed, that they were gathered after the butterflies' rather short natural life, and it made me smile.
