Butterflies at home
My kids love this! They begged me to get one after doing this activity at their preschool. We got the kit, sent away for the larvae and received them in about a week.

Wonderful fun for young and old!!!!!!
We received our catepillars in a timely manner (about 2 weeks). We received 5 catepillars. 4/5 made a cocoon.

Absolutely Awesome!!!
This thing was fantastic. The caterpillars come in a clear plastic container which allows you to see everything! I think I almost loved the things more than my kids! AWESOME!

No Larvae yet – NO online ordering, phone wait 30+ minutes
I am anicipating my kids enjoying this someday when they get the needed larvae. You CANNOT order the larvae online despite them saying you can. Try their insectlore.

doesn’t come with larvae
