Insect Lore supplies Painted Lady caterpillars grown at their US-based family farm, operating since 1969. The Cup of Caterpillars set allows children, families, and educators to observe metamorphosis while learning about pollinators and natural cycles. Each order contains two cups with five caterpillars each (10 total), complete with food supply and care instructions. The habitat and Chrys-A-Lid holding log must be purchased separately. Shipping is limited to mainland US destinations; optimal daytime temperatures for delivery range between 50-90°F. For over five decades, Insect Lore has provided this educational experience, enabling generations to study butterfly development from larvae to adult stage before release.
