"We successfully released 5 beautiful butterfly’s a few weeks after receiving our cup of caterpillars.. will definitely be ordering again next year. The children and adults loved watching them grow and change over a few weeks and on release day it was quite emotional"
"Great experience and unique gift. This is our 6th or 7th time having caterpillars and it doesn’t get old. It’s just a part of our summer which my daughters always look forward to. My mum bought my eldest daughter the full set years ago and now every year we just buy a cup of caterpillars. It's the gift which keeps on giving."
"Kids absolutely love this, enjoyed watch them grow from the beginning, feed them and then let them go away. Great science experience, learning about the whole process. Absolutely recommended, and easy steps to use the voucher that came with the garden net."
"We absolutely loved this project over the summer holidays ❤️ our butterflies are wonderful, all came out healthy and my children were just blown away. This is something we will be doing again 🤩🤩🤩"
"Wonderful experience for our two boys. All five butterflies were a success. Easy to do, instructions were great. Such a wonderful learning experience for our boys. Will definitely be ordering again!"
"Thank you insect lore for your amazing product all of my butterflies have emerged apart from slow poke but I think it just needs more time thank you once again for my beautiful painted ladies,I promise I will take good care of them."
"Exceptional. We produced 5 butterflies out of 6 caterpillars. Your emails from you to guide through the process was an added bonus. We will definitely be ordering more next year. Thankyou the grandchildren and great grandparents together with aunts uncles, cousins, parents grandparents*age ranged 2 yrs to 91 years) all shared the release day it was magical."
"This is a wonderful concept. Received 5 Caterpillars. Email reminders were timed perfectly and all queries I had were included in the FAQs We released 5 beautiful Painted Ladies 10 Days after arrival."
"Amazing - a little doubtful we would get any butterflies after some caterpillars knocked down already formed cocoons but we followed the advice and got 5/5 amazing butterflies - kids absolutely loved it when we set them free! Will be buying again for sure!"
"So wonderful my daughter absolutely loves butterfly’s so needless to say enjoyed this process of life. We did have one butterfly with a broken wing poor thing but we took extra care of it and put it in a bed of flowers in our garden so it had some kind of life."
