Reviews

It was amazing to observe

"It was amazing to observe the life cycle of the caterpillars. It’s a nice idea to offer that as a gift. The children are very interested in observing these insects."

— Elise B. (5/5)

We are raising butterflies.

"We won a Painted Lady butterfly kit—including a voucher to order the caterpillars—at our village Christmas market charity raffle. The children waited all winter until we could finally order the caterpillars. We were delighted by their growth . . . delighted by the rapid growth. When the first butterfly emerged, the joy was immense—and not just for the children! By now, four out of the five butterflies have hatched, and soon we will set them free in our beautiful, rural garden."

— Romy K. (5/5)

A lovely idea for children

"A lovely idea for children and families, and a great way to experience the magic of watching caterpillars turn into butterflies. We had a small issue with our order, but Insect Lore’s customer service was very friendly, helpful and quick to respond. They handled everything in a kind and professional way, which made a big difference. Overall, a really nice experience and a company I would be happy to order from again."

Papillons

"Nous avons été très contents d'accueillir ces 5 chenilles à la maison. La transformation en chrysalide a été très rapide et nous avons pu assister à leur transformation en papillon !Ce fut que du bonheur pour toute la famille! Nous avons réussi en en avoir 4 sur 5! Un papillon était malheureusement difforme lorsqu'il est sorti de son cocon. Il n'a jamais réussi à déployer ses ailes."
