Insect Lore Butterfly Garden | 10 Live Baby Caterpillars | Habitat, Feeder, Chrys-A-Lid Logs, STEM Journal Included | Raise and Release Painted Lady Butterflies

Loved this kit!! I panicked when 2 chrysalis fell but I read instructions and they hatched! I also had one caterpillar crawl up to the top of enclosure because the others formed their chrysalis. He was just a late bloomer! I feel like this is fool proof. Patience is all you need.

This present was most happily received.A birthday gift for a nature lover.This kit, when used according to directions, will produce gasps and awe. Delicacy, and some sensitivity, is all that is required.Am ordering another and another.Kit has been around for decades and I have always loved itA+++++++

What fun! The caterpillars arrived quickly and were in great health! The granddaughter has enjoyed drawing/writing in the journal and is eagerly awaiting the transformation into butterflies! A friend of mine with two granddaughters recommended this to me and I’m so glad she did! Fun for both kids and adults!

My little girl and I really enjoyed this! Would definitely do again.

Great learning tool for toddlers all the catapillars were alive! And everything included! With good instructions!

I was disappointed in this product; I bought it to teach my class a science lesson about the butterfly life cycle and use it as a positive behavior incentive. To be fair, the habitat and the instructions were excellent and easy to follow. When it arrived, though, only 3 of the 5 promised caterpillars were in the container, and 1 was dead. The 2 remaining caterpillars were at vastly different stages in their life cycles. It says in the directions: do not open the cup at any point because it can harm the caterpillars. It also says to remove the chrysalis from the cups before they emerge so they can dry their wings. One formed a chrysalis and was in it for a week/ready to emerge before the other caterpillar had grown to even half the size it should have been, so I released it since I had no way of removing the chrysalis and keeping it in the cup for it to create its own. I made the mistake of opening it in front of my students, so returning it was not an option without upsetting them. It may be my fault for assuming I'd be sent 5 living caterpillars or that the caterpillars would be at similar growth stages so that they would create a chrysalis around the same time. Having only one butterfly to show my class after they were so excited was disappointing. I would not buy again.In the picture you can see how different in growth the 2 living caterpillars were and the 3rd dead caterpillar in the back. Maybe there is another one that was dead beneath the larger living caterpillar, but either way, I only ever had 2 that were alive.

The media could not be loaded. These caterpillars grew so fast and it was great seeing them change over time. All ten were released once they all had a full day to open up their wings. I already ordered another set of cups, but unfortunately I only got 9 caterpillars this time.

Pedí 10 orugas, solo llegó un recipiente para poner 5 de los capullos (Chrys-A-Lid stations) No tengo donde colocar los otros 5.
