"A wonderful experience as always, both for child and adults. Love seeing my daughters excitement when she releases the butterflies. Have the caterpillars every year and we never get bored of it. So glad my daughter get's to this life cycle first hand. Highly recommend this company."
"Returning customer!!! Love getting caterpillars and watching them grow. Usually we only have one loss, for some reason this time we had more loss than survivors. Even the replacements we only had two make it. But that is nature, out of 15 caterpillars we have released 8 healthy butterflies!!!"
"Fantastic experience as usual even though my children are older now we still enjoy watching the caterpillars change and releasing them into our garden in hopes we see more nature in the garden. Only downside was when the postie left them on the doorstep in the heat. But great communication from the company about this and we had four successful butterflies."
"Our second time raising caterpillars to butterflies! It's always an amazing experience and the insect lore kit makes it all so easy. We've had a 100% success rate both times and we'll definitely be doing it again in the future."
"Got to say this is the first time buying the caterpillars. I brought them for my girls so could watch something grow into something beautiful. They are now in their “j” shape so won’t be long now. Will 100% order again as this is such an amazing experience."
"It was so mesmerizing to see the transformation. It should be a must to experience at least once in a lifetime (for me this was the 3rd time, still amazing)."
"At first they were still and then started moving and before shipment they have grown so much! They have had some of the food before shipment and had already made webs before shipment as well! Amazing!"
"As always this has proved to be an excellent experience for adults and children alike. Very straight forward but loads to wonder at and learn from. I always recommend this as a present for all ages!"
"Excellent! We buy the butterflies each year and have done for many years now. Wonderful watching them grow and insectlore were extremely helpful when I had issues with a recently order. Thank you so much for your quick response and we will be back again to order more butterflies 🦋"
"We were given a butterfly habitat by a neighbour and so just ordered the set of caterpillars. Watching them grow and pupate was thrilling for the children and we were delighted that all of them successfully hatched into butterflies. Releasing the butterflies was a magical experience. The kit was very straightforward and the instructions clear. We will be doing it again next year!"
