Claim Your Live Caterpillars OnlineMany Insect Lore Butterfly kits include live caterpillars that ship as soon as the order is placed. This Butterfly Garden with Pre-Paid Voucher does not come with live caterpillars but instead allows you to claim them online, giving you the flexibility to start raising your butterflies when you are ready. This makes the kit a perfect choice to give as a gift and also gives owners the option to wait for the right season or temperature to raise butterflies. As soon as you are ready for your caterpillars, simply go online and claim your free baby caterpillars. |
Baby Caterpillars Grow Inside of the CupOnce you have received your cup with five live baby caterpillars, they will eat and grow inside of it until it is time for them to create their chrysalides (commonly referred to as cocoons). The inside of the cup includes all the nutritious food that caterpillars need. Place the cup in a safe place away from direct sunlight. The caterpillars will remain in the cup and will eat, spin silk, and grow to ten times their original size! After seven to ten days they will hang upside down and harden into chrysalides. |
Watch them Transform in Front of Your EyesWhen the caterpillars have reached the chrysalis stage, you can place the lid from the cup in the deluxe chrysalis station and place it inside of the specially designed habitat. A pull-away teaching panel helps teach kids about the four different stages of metamorphosis. Once your butterflies have emerged from the chrysalides, place fresh flowers in the habitat for your butterflies to rest on. Use the feeding dropper included to drip sugar water, or nectar, on the flowers. Enjoy your butterflies for a few days, let them go, and watch in excitement as they continue their amazing life cycle. |

This is a great experience for all ages in my opinion.
Easy-to-use kit, very educational, and we enjoyed watching each new butterfly emerge from their chrysalis.
Some reviews say to scoop out the poop to help the caterpillars eat better, but it didn't seem to be a problem for ours. The kit says not to open the caterpillar jar because it might introduce bacteria or something. It also makes a mess because the caterpillars spin webs everywhere, so they might get caught in them if you undo the cap. We waited 3 days (as per instructions) after the chrysalides formed, cleaned off the webbing that was around them, and waited for our 5 butterflies to emerge! Great kit!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2021
One thing I failed to realize when I bought these kits is that the caterpillars don’t come with the kits. You must contact the company after you get the kits and the caterpillars are shipped separately. No additional changes. In hindsight this makes sense. Worth the money.
