The Metamorphosis Magic kit includes five live Painted Lady caterpillars and a compact habitat for observing their transformation over three weeks. The set comes with caterpillar food, a collapsible mesh habitat (13.5” tall x 8” wide), a chrysalis holding log, a flower-shaped feeder, sugar packets for nectar, a feeding dropper, 3D butterfly stickers, and a wind-up butterfly toy.
Insect Lore, a U.S.-based supplier with over 50 years of experience, sources caterpillars from domestic growers. The habitat folds flat for storage, and the included chrysalis log simplifies transferring pupae without safety pins. This kit serves as an educational tool for teaching children about insect life cycles.
Live caterpillar shipments are restricted when daytime temperatures fall below 50°F or exceed 90°F. Delivery to Hawaii, Mexico, Canada, and Puerto Rico is unavailable.
Things to Keep in MindA significant number of users report issues with the live caterpillars upon arrival, frequently citing that they are dead, fewer than the advertised quantity, or damaged due to shipping problems. Several reviews also note a lack of responsiveness from customer service regarding replacements. Why You'll Like ItThe kit consistently provides an engaging and educational experience for children and adults, offering clear instructions and essential tools to observe the butterfly life cycle. The habitat is also noted as being reusable for future uses.
