The Insect Lore Butterfly Garden Pavilion provides a hands-on educational experience to observe the life cycle of Painted Lady butterflies over approximately three weeks. The set includes a reusable 2-foot-tall habitat with a clear viewing panel, along with a STEM activity journal, feeding tools, and detailed instructions. A voucher is included to redeem 10 live caterpillars with food and a Chrys-A-Lid enclosure.
The STEM journal features observation prompts, scientific facts, and creative exercises to enhance learning. For optimal results, redeem the caterpillar voucher when local daytime temperatures remain between 50–90°F. Note that caterpillars ship only to mainland U.S. addresses.
Insect Lore, established in 1969, pioneered live butterfly kits and continues to foster appreciation for pollinators. The caterpillars are raised at the company’s California farm. This kit is designed for educational exploration and nature observation.
Things to Keep in MindA notable number of customers reported issues with obtaining the caterpillars, citing unexpected additional shipping fees, receiving fewer or dead larvae, or larvae arriving at an advanced stage, often compounded by difficulties reaching unresponsive customer support. Why You'll Like ItThe kit consistently provides a highly engaging and educational experience, allowing children and families to observe the full butterfly life cycle, with many users reporting successful transformations and a rewarding learning journey.
