The Insect Lore Butterfly Garden Kit includes a reusable mesh habitat for observing the metamorphosis of 10 Painted Lady butterflies from caterpillars to adults. The kit comes with a voucher for live caterpillars (shipped separately), a feeding dropper, and detailed care instructions. A STEM activity journal with stickers is provided for educational observation and documentation. The habitat measures 30cm tall and collapses for storage. Suitable for ages 4+, this hands-on science kit demonstrates the butterfly life cycle in approximately 3 weeks. No additional tools or accessories are required beyond the included materials.
Things to Keep in MindA recurring issue was the reliability of the live caterpillars; many reviewers reported receiving fewer than expected, or finding them dead, unhealthy, or already too far along in their development upon arrival. Concerns were also frequently raised about the initial caterpillar container being too small or unsuitable, potentially compromising the creatures' well-being and successful metamorphosis. Why You'll Like ItMany parents and educators found this kit offered a genuinely exciting and educational opportunity for children to observe the full life cycle of butterflies. When the caterpillars thrived, the transformation into butterflies was a captivating experience, often supported by the convenient habitat and clear instructions.
