atch the Miracle of Metamorphosis Up Close
This educational kit offers children an invaluable lesson of metamorphosis, science, patterns, patience, and life cycle studies. With the giant and airy butterfly habitat it is perfect for raising butterflies in a home or classroom setting.
The butterfly cycle can take between 3 and 5 weeks to complete depending on the time of year, please take this into account when ordering.
See an Amazing Transformation
6-10 caterpillars (live butterfly cultures) will arrive within 2 clear plastic cups with all of the nutritious food they need. Place the cups in a safe place away from direct sunlight. The caterpillars will remain in the cups and will eat, spin silk and grow to TEN times their original size! After seven to ten days they will hang upside down and harden into chrysalides (chrysalides are also known as pupae).
Raise Your Very Own Butterflies
Once the chrysalides have hardened, gently move them to the pop-up butterfly habitat. It will take about seven to ten more days for them to complete the transformation to adult butterflies.
The Butterfly Pavilion Habitat is a reusable, cylindrical mesh container perfect for up-close butterfly viewing! When not in use it folds flat for easy storage. Then when you wish to raise more butterflies, just order refill Cups of Caterpillars here.

"My family loved this set which had everything we needed. It was fascinating watching the caterpillars grow and develop into butterflies, we even managed to see some of them hatch from their chrysalis! A great gift that we would buy again and gift to others! The information booklet was really useful at different stages :)"
"The service is great. regular updates on my order and everything happening when promised. Very happy"
"My grandson and son loved it,my grandson pretended to be a wiggling chrysalis and then a flying butterfly, there were smiles all round when they flew away"
"Gave hours of fun and interest to my elderly Mum. ? Can’t wait to order our caterpillars next year"
"Great kit. Easy to use. Kids LOVED it!"
"I was finding things to do for my boys over the summer holidays. The caterpillars arrived on the first day of the summer holidays. We had 9 in total arrive and 9 made it to the end and released as butterflies. We will definately be ordering more!"
"This was the best birthday present for a 5 year old. It beats all the dumb toys and gimmicks. Even my 2 year old joined in the joy of naming the creepy catipillers and watching them change, such a great idea and beats the usual presents"
"My grandchildren were fascinated by the metamorphosis and delighted to release their beautiful butterflies. It has added to their interest in nature in the garden."
