"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!!!"
"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."
"We bought a caterpillar set last year for our grandson for his birthday. This year he asked to do the experience again. As he had the original set we bought a refill caterpillar set. Again he has thoroughly enjoyed the process of looking after his caterpillars."
"My granddaughter just loved her present of caterpillars and was so excited when her beautiful butterflies hatched. Thank you Becky for very quickly sorting out my mistake with incorrect address. I was very satisfied with and will certainly buy from you again."
"Success this year 4 out of 5 butterflies survived. The children loved watching them through the whole cycle."
"Thank you so much for a great experience for my children. All caterpillars transformed into butterflies. In fact I was worried about 2 of them so I sent a photo and someone got back to me with advice."
"Done the caterpillars one 3 times now. My present batch are chrysalis. Kids love watching these ( and adults). Watching butterflies 🦋 fly away is magical"
"I have been getting these refills once a year for over eight years now and it is lovely to see butterflies hatch every year, my kids are teenagers now but they still love having the refills every year as it has become a family tradition"
"Love watching these beautiful Amazing things not so successful this time only received 4 caterpillars and although they all morphed only 2 flew away the others we found the next day although all instructions were followed. Better luck next time 🦋"
"I have purchased the butterfly refills for approximately 5 years! I buy them for my grandson and every year is magical! We’ve always had every butterfly emerge and be healthy! We love releasing them and they always sit on our hands for a few minutes before flying off! Highly recommended"
