## 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 5 live baby caterpillars, reusable dome-style 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, exclusive Chrys-a-lid holding log for easy transfer, a feeding dropper, STEM Activity Journal 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 affordable find! - I looked up many butterfly lores and so many were $30+ dollars and I did not want to spend that much! This was an excellent more affordable find and it has now lasted through multiple caterpillar to butterfly metamorphosis and now my kids are using it to put butterflies they catch outside. They observe them, paint and then release them. This came with painted lady butterflies which when we looked up was designated as a pest by the usda so we did not let them go. Initially we thought we were getting monarch butterflies but that’s because I didn’t read the title thoroughly. It is so amazing to observe and we have learned way more than the life cycle due to this piquing our curiosity! Very durable! Also easy to observe through mesh or vinyl sides. We have now bought a milkweed plant because they say that’s all Monarch caterpillars eat! We really want to see a green chrysalis. A good and funny book we found related to butterflies is called Butterflies are pretty....gross! Unrelated to this product but if you read this far so worth the read! Kids loved it!
Review: Great kit!!! Kids loved it! - My kids and I got this kit for a summer project together and we had a blast. It was so great to see each stage of the life cycle. We received 5 caterpillars but only 4 made it to the chrysalis stage. All four chrysalides emerged into beautiful butterflies. We fed them fruit and enjoyed them for a few days before we released them onto our flowers! We waved goodbye as they flew away. Would highly recommend this kit!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These Caterpillars are Healthy and Large
*by S***. on August 9, 2024*

I got this for my 17 year old grandson’s birthday, at his request. He’s a nature guy and is really enjoying watching they grow. He sends me pics and they are huge. He said the whole set is great. I feel it’s a good value for the money, the instructions are clear.
