## Description

Watch the wonder of nature unfold right before your eyes with the Insect Lore Butterfly Garden Kit with Live Caterpillars. Designed for parents, teachers, and curious young minds, this interactive butterfly kit offers an unforgettable hands-on science experience that brings the butterfly life cycle to life in real time. Ideal for at-home learning or classroom STEM activities, this educational kit includes 10 live baby caterpillars, a 12-inch tall reusable pop-up mesh habitat, and everything needed to care for your caterpillars as they transform into beautiful Painted Lady butterflies. From the moment your kit arrives, the journey begins. Kids can immediately observe the early stages of metamorphosis, watching caterpillars eat, grow, and prepare for their transformation. Over the course of about three weeks, the caterpillars form chrysalides, and with patience and care, emerge as vibrant butterflies ready to be released into the world. Along the way, children gain a deeper understanding of life science, responsibility, and the importance of pollinators in our ecosystem. Trusted by families and educators for nearly 50 years, Insect Lore’s butterfly growing kit includes a flower-shaped butterfly feeder, sugar packets, 2 exclusive Chrys-a-lid™ station logs for easy transfer, a feeding dropper, and a helpful caterpillar care guide—all designed to make the experience simple, educational, and fun. The entire kit supports early STEM learning, making it perfect for nature study units, spring science projects, or homeschool enrichment. Please note that caterpillars are sensitive to temperature and should only be ordered when daytime temperatures are between 50°F and 90°F. Caterpillars can only be shipped within the continental U.S. Ready to raise butterflies? Let the learning and discovery begin the moment the box arrives.

Review: Great Learning Experience - Better than expected! Purchased as a gift for a 4-year old boy. He (and his parents) loved it. Makes a great gift. They enjoyed setting up, watching the progress and then releasing the butterfly. It teaches observation, patience and stages of the butterfly. I wish I had a photo to share, its was a fun experience and he was engaged at every step.
Review: Awesome Spring time gift (Great distraction while Stay-At-Home in place) - I've been buying these since my little grand kids went to Daycare. I've even bought them for Daycare's down the street I'm not associated with, plus for relatives kids. I just think it's the best thing going for some spring time education. I was worried getting them during the COVID-19 stuff, and with all that's going on lately, but of the 5 sets I bought all the caterpillars came small and lively. One year I did buy from a company OTHER THAN Insect Lore and I regretted it. The caterpillars came in all different sizes, so the flow to the chrysalis, then to coming out as butterflies was staggered and REALLY a pain to keep up with. Plus, the best cup had 4 survive and one cup none survived. When I tried to explain to the company, they offered NO compensation. After years of doing this for all the kids related or not, I suggest not trying to save a little and stick with Insect Lore. The memories are so much better. It's awesome when they do come out. I let the kids name theirs (like they really can tell, hehe). Then we keep them a day or two, and when it's warm enough, we go outside and I help them press up on the chest to get one on their finger, take it slowly out of the cage, and watch it take off. So fun and cute. I've got a video of one granddaughter who named hers Daisy. The day she let hers go, and it flew off her finger and away, she stood up and started waving while saying "Goodbye Daisy, Goodbye". She sounded both sad and happy. Glad I got it on film because it's so cute and emotional. Any way - Get one :) Get 10 :)

### ⭐ 100% Disappointing
*by T***R on June 23, 2025*

I only got 7 of the 10 I was supposed to get, all of them already in the chrysalis phase, 1 looks partially eaten I wonder if the other 3 were also eaten, and all of them of course fell from the lid before they arrived. My kids were so excited to watch them grow and change now we just have to sit and wait to see if any of them made it. Worst part, I ordered on 6/12 selected the delivery date of 6/27 then they shipped on 6/13 (already had a feeling this would end badly) then got delayed in shipping 3 times but the other option was 6/15 which was to early for my stepdaughter to be here to watch them. So now I have to question why they were shipped so early for a delivery date of the 27th if they claimed to be able to have them here a few days as my other option (which with the multiple delays in shipping they would've been late for the 15th delivery date). Now they are 4 days early and already almost completely through the process of becoming a butterfly (if any are alive still) which was the point of this for my children since we have worked on making a butterfly garden area to release them in. The other stuff in the kit is nice but very disappointed in the caterpillars so for me this is a 0 star experience but have to give a 1.
