Reviews

Soo schön diese Entwicklung zu beobachten.

"Meine 5 jährige Tochter bekam den Schmetterlingsgarten zum Geburtstag geschenkt. Anfangs hab ich mich geärgert, weil zwar die Raupen als Gutscheincode dabei waren, aber ich 4,99€ Versand zahlen musste. Aber den Raupen beim wachsen und verpuppen zuzusehen und sie am Ende als Schmetterlinge fliegen zu lassen war wunderschön und total spannend. Alle 5 haben sich entwickelt und sind dann in die Freiheit geflogen. Machen wir nächstes Jahr auf jeden Fall wieder."

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."

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."

Worked out well, we had

"Worked out well, we had 5 beautiful butterflies:) thank you we will order again"

"die Idee ist schön. leider die Umsetzung weniger. die Raupen sind beim ersten Mal fast alle Tod angekommen. sie waren schlecht verpackt und es war in meinen Augen nicht artgerecht versendet. sie würden anstandslos ausgetauscht gegen neue Raupen. diese kamen sehr groß an, aber leider auch schon kurz vor dem sterben. auch diese haben es nicht geschafft. Fazit, das Geld war umsonst und mir tun die Tiere unheimlich leid"

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."

— Aurélie A. (5/5)

superbe expérience. les explications sont

"superbe expérience. les explications sont bien faites. les chenille sont arrivée en bonne santé et tout s'est bien déroulé. nous avons vu naitre de magnifiques papillons que nous avons relachés dans la nature. Mon enfant était ravi."

— Elodie C. (5/5)

Ik heb de rupsen al

"Ik heb de rupsen al meerdere malen besteld voor in de klas. Voor de kinderen is het fantastisch om de metamorfose van rups tot vlinder van dichtbij te zien. Volgend jaar wéér 🦋"

— Esther G. (5/5)
