## 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.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best experience
*by S***M on 4 June 2025*

One of the greatest purchases I've ever made! I adore seeing my daughter's face light up with joy and excitement every day as she checks on them and cares for them. Sadly, I received three caterpillars, but only two of them made it! We had to release them, and that day was both beautiful and bittersweet. We didn't want to say goodbye, but it was heartwarming to see them outside resting on the flowers.Don't wait, get it now! It's the best experience.
