Insect Lore Cup of Caterpillars | 5 Live Caterpillars for Butterfly Garden | Refill for Painted Lady Butterfly Kit | Stickers & Chrysalis Log | STEM Learning Activity

Would 100% recommend. Over all great experience for myself and my daughter. I received the caterpillars super fast after ordering. Unfortunately one of the caterpillars did not make it within a few days so that left me with 4. All 4 caterpillars had went into their cocoon. 2 butterflies just came out today and I’m still waiting on the last 2.I plan to set the 2 butterflies free after 24 hours so their wings can dry and expand.Make sure when purchasing these you also buy the butterflies enclosures separate as they do not come with it.First 2 pictures are of the caterpillars after a few days of getting them ( they grow so fast)Last 2 pictures show my 2 beautiful butterflies that hatched. Just waiting on 2 more!!This was so much fun

I have been ordering insect lore for about five years for my grandchildren. They have been beautiful butterflies, and it always made my grandchildren happy at the release. For some reason this year, the chrysalis‘s fell off the paper and they started to have an odor. My son could not stand the odor so he threw it out. I got this from Amazon so I could not return it since he discarded the cup. Can I possibly get a refund or another cup so I could try it again thank you.

I've been getting my caterpillars from Insect Lore through Amazon for the last 4 or 5 years. I feel like each year, the quality has gone done. I used to get 5 healthy caterpillars. Then last year it was 4 (one died in the cup), then of the 4, only 3 cocooned properly, and then 1 of those 3 didn't hatch. Now, this year, we only had 3 caterpillars in the cup, and now that they just cocooned a few days ago, one cocoon already fell off the top of the cup before I could transfer them to the netting. For the money I spend getting these caterpillars for my daughter to hatch and then let loose in our garden, it's not worth it anymore. When I pay for 5, I expect 5 caterpillars in the cup, not the 3 I received this time. I may look elsewhere for caterpillars next year.

This is the best source I've found for caterpillars to observe; we've ordered them for several years now. They came clear across the country in two days, and all the caterpillars were alive (temps getting into low 80s as a high). The cup was very well packaged. Wonderful product! My kids are having a blast, and they're still just caterpillars!

Everyone should do this ! I got them for my nephew and we had so much fun and he learned a lot and I’m definitely going to buy more and grow some butterflies again. Such a great gift for literally any age. Just so beautiful and not one showed up dead during shipping.

So far all 5 made their chrysalid. Waiting to see if they all emerge. One we found at the bottom of the cup but we transfered it to the netted area anyway. We'll see what happens. My granddaughter is thrilled.

We received caterpillars on time but received only 4 when it should have been 5! I have 5 students so now each child is not able to claim one. Disappointed :(

I give it 4 stars ONLY because we only received 4 caterpillars, but they all developed and flew off! This is the second time in 3 years we have done this. It is truly an amazing experience to have with your child. Or, even as an adult! I loved watching them every morning. I was bummed I did not get to see them emerge as they all did it over night, but the first time we did this we watched all 5 emerge and it was amazing!
