BugLand™ with LIVE Ladybird Larvae!

Raise and release your very own ladybirds with this fun, reusable, and colourful BugLand island habitat.

With a built-in magnifying lid you can observe the larvae up close while they explore the island and drink from the ‘volcano’. Watch as they transform from small larvae to adult ladybirds in approximately 4 weeks (may be less in warmer weather), before releasing every gardener's favourite beneficial insect into nature! 

A fascinating project for children and adults alike, and a fun introduction to the world of entomology!

The ladybirds can be a mix of black with red spots and red with black spots and should be released within 24hrs unless an abundant supply of aphids can be sourced to feed them.

Includes:

  • BugLand™ - Super-clear habitat with removable dome, built-in magnifying lid and a water reservoir “volcano”
  • 10 ladybird larvae with food (or PREPAID Voucher to redeem later)
  • Pipette
  • Instruction guide

Pair with the 'My Ladybird Observation Diary (Ages 4-6)' for a perfect STEM learning experience.  Record your ladybird life cycle observations, learn the anatomy of the ladybird and more!

Our BugLand™ isn’t just for ladybirds, reuse the habitat and collect your choice of insects to observe.  The BugLand™ is also available without ladybird larvae here.

Lady Bird Review

"Happy so far with the development of the lady birds, there appears to be 3-5 that I have seen since delivery of the insects. Hopefully I should see them mature shortly. Many thanks"

Q&A

I’m looking to buy for child’s birthday near end of July, can this be purchased at anytime and stored or is it best waiting to nearer the time for the larve?
Hello Cheryl, If it is for a Birthday we would suggest purchasing the kit with a voucher. This can then be redeemed by the recipient when they are ready for the ladybirds! This can be bought and stored as there would be no live ladybirds inside!
Is this a good time of year to grow and release ladybirds or is there a specific window of time that is best?
Hello, Ladybirds can be grown between March and mi-September!
Can I use the butterfly enclosure we got previously to grow the ladybirds?
Hello David, Unfortunately not, they would escape this habitat!
Do they require water/care every day? Considering for a preschool, so no one on site at weekends. Thank you
Hello Jan, They have all the food they need with them and they will need releasing pretty soon after emergence, but are fine to be left for a few days over the weekend!
How do you get the ladybirds out once they are ready to leave?
Hello, The dome of the BugLand will lift off and you can let them crawl out or gently crawl on your hands to let them out!
