Insect Lore Butterfly Pavilion with Two Live Cups of Caterpillars | 2ft Tall Habitat, STEM Butterfly Journal, 10 Live Baby Caterpillars | Life Science & STEM Education | Painted Lady Butterfly Kit

I bought this for my husband for Easter & we both enjoyed watching the caterpillars metamorphosis to butterflies.it was a beautiful experience releasing them into our backyard. I bought one for my grandson, who loved it as well.

This is my favorite thing to do in spring with my prek students. 9/10 caterpillars hatched into butterflies. One got knocked off and I dont think he survived.

This was wonderful and my granddaughter loved it!!! So much fun to watch the tiny caterpillers turn into big, fat caterpillers, they build a cocoon and finally hatch out as beautiful butterflies.

Got it for our grandkids science class.good

My children enjoyed watching the caterpillars grow and releasing the butterflies in the wild.8 out of 10 formed crystalises. 6 out of 10 caterpillars became butterflies. They emerged different days. 1 emergrd 2 days after. There were 3 but only 1 was translucent and light tan in color. The other 2 where smaller and nearly black.I made tge mistake of thinking the lid was supposed to be removed, once all the catipellers "attached" themselves to the lid. I believe I was supposed to wait until they all formed their chrysalis. When I removed the lid and put it in the holder, a few caterpillars decided to crawl to top of habitat. I don't think this affected their survival as the 1 each that did emerge where on lid and on roof of habitat. It just made visually watching them more difficult.

Only included 7 caterpillars, not 10. Might as well have not paid the extra money and just gotten the much cheaper 5 caterpillar version. The caterpillars also arrived full-grown (turned into chrysalides the next day) so the kids weren’t able to see the lifecycle of the caterpillars growing like they usually do.

Purchased to help pollinate my Meyer lemons that I bring inside to over winter. I had 17 out of 20 grow into painted ladies. My grandchildren loved watching them develope.

My first item arrived damaged and an entire container of caterpillars were lost and died in the box. I decided to return the item so I requested a shipping label. In the meantime my students could not fathom the idea of getting rid of the other container of caterpillars so I held off on returning until the new package arrived. The new package arrived today and now the hard part is determining if I will have to keep both because once the kids see more caterpillars I am sure I will have to keep them. But I don't even mind because the company responded so quickly with a replacement and the kids are ecstatic about the project we are doing. So thank you Amazon and Insect Lore Products.
