Twice the amount of caterpillars and a taller habitat than our regular Gift Set
This fun and educational kit gives children, students and families an unforgettable opportunity to watch caterpillars change into chrysalides and then emerge as beautiful Painted Lady Butterflies. Raise and feed your very own butterflies and then release them into the wild! The entire transformation from caterpillar to adult butterfly takes about three to five weeks.
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 Garden 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 a refill Cup of Caterpillars here.

"Personally I think the jars need to be a little bigger as the other caterpillars can knock each other down when turning into chrysalis. So far 6 of the 10 caterpillars are now butterflys. Sadly one of our caterpillars died and we had a failed chrysalis phase. Still waiting on two chrysalis to eclose. I would definitely buy again. Its been such an amazing experience watching them grow and transform. Absolutely a miracle 🥰"
"Absolutely loved having the caterpillars and butterflies we were lucky enough to have had 5 in all 4 pots that we ordered. Our second order I purchased the larger habitat so we had could have more caterpillars We will definitely be doing it again next year"
