Where can I find a supplier of butterflies (from around the world)
which I can then purchase and mount in plexiglass cases for resale?

The best source of links to suppliers I found was the Suppliers and
Traders Directory on InsectNet.com.  Many of them don't attempt to
supply specimens from the whole world, but specialize in one region,
so you may want to consider using more than one supplier.

Is this a satisfactory answer to your question?

While the answer you supplied is good, the sources you cite provide,
for the most part the precise final product I wish to provide. Ergo, I
would be unable to use them as sources as the price would be too high.
What I truly need are original sources for the product - those same
sources which probably supply those same sources (i.e. their final
product would be the same as mine; there profit the same too).

Here are a few US based choices:

http://www.butterfliesandthings.com/quantity.asp?stid=1

http://www.butterfliesbygod.com/ (website says they'll wholesale)

http://www.thebutterflysite.com/unmounted-butterflies.html

And many others...

I found these links at:

http://www.insectnet.com/suppliers.htm

I hope you find this answer useful.  Please leave positive comments
before closing off or expand your question if you need further
information so that others may help you.

Good Luck.

Sorry efn...as you can see by the timing of my 'answer' I was typing while you were!
