Observe the transformation of caterpillars into Painted Lady Butterflies with Insect Lore's Cup of Caterpillars. This kit includes 5 live caterpillars, their food, a Chrysalis Holding Log, a Caterpillar Quick Guide, and Insect Lore Mascot Stickers. Note: The Butterfly Garden habitat is sold separately.
Designed for hands-on learning, this STEM-friendly activity encourages young explorers to study insect metamorphosis while decorating their caterpillar cup with stickers. Insect Lore has supplied live insects for over 50 years, sourcing from trusted U.S. growers.
The included Caterpillar Quick Guide provides clear care instructions, making this an accessible project for families or classrooms. For a full butterfly-raising experience, pair with the Insect Lore Butterfly Garden Kit. The process takes approximately three weeks, concluding with the release of mature butterflies.
Things to Keep in MindA frequent issue reported by users is receiving fewer than the advertised five live caterpillars. Additionally, there are common concerns regarding the health and survival rate of the caterpillars, with many dying prematurely or failing to develop into healthy butterflies, leading to a low success rate for the overall project. Why You'll Like ItThe kit offers an engaging and educational experience for both children and adults, allowing for observation of the butterfly life cycle. Users appreciate that some accompanying accessories, like the netting tent, are durable enough for repeated use in subsequent projects.
