Description
Witness one of nature's much impressive transformations up shut together with this reusable, collapsible habitat. Fine, transparent mesh lets you see butterfly metamorphosis up shut. Product consists of simple-to-use feeder and complete instructions for habitat. Butterfly larvae together with food shipped directly to your home. The habitat collapses for storage when not in use. You can adopt and raise a handful of caterpillars, watch them convert into painted lady butterflies, then lift the garden cover to open your stunning specimens into the wild. This exciting habitat makes a fabulous introduction to the miracles of nature. The larvae and food available round the year.
Did you recognize this painted ladies (the butterflies, this is) taste together with their feet and have 10,000 eyes? You and your children will be fascinated by all you study concerning these stunning creatures together with the Butterfly Garden from Insect Lore. The kit comes together with a relatively simple-to-assemble observation chamber; supplies for feeding the butterflies (you offer only sugar and water); an informative booklet of clear instructions and butterfly facts; and a certificate for three to five free painted lady caterpillars. The metamorphosis from larva to butterfly takes concerning three weeks from when you get the caterpillar larvae (which arrive in a small container together with all the nutrients they want). Your kids can watch the larvae enhance spectacularly in size, shape chrysalides, and finally emerge into full-fledged painted ladies (it's suggested this they open the butterflies afterwards a few days of observation). This would do a wonderful activity for families together with children of any age, but younger kids will want help assembling the observation chamber and reading the instruction booklet. (Note: The manufacturer recommends this butterflies should not be set free in temperatures lower than 55 degrees Fahrenheit.) --Rachel Radway

Customer rating is 5 of 5  AWESOME!   2010-03-03
By J. Fish (Fort Wayne, IN)
I got this for my then 5 year old daughter. She took it into school as her "show and tell" each week and the kids got to witness a couple of the butterflies hatch. She's never been so excited about a present in her life. She wants another kit for her birthday this year. We'll definitely be doing this again. Great experience and hands on learning.

Customer rating is 5 of 5  Great Product - this is my second one   2010-02-07
By Karlo & Lena's mom (Evanston, IL)
I bought this 3 or 4 years ago for my son. Sent away for the caterpillars and had two delighted kids watching the whole process happen. Each summer this has also been our lightening bug container each night in June and July. We've caught local caterpillars and had varying degrees of success having them turn to butterflies or moths.

My son's preschool and kindergarten class have also borrowed it for a month at a time when they were doing butterfly projects.

So it wore out. Hence we are happily buying another one and will start over with sending away for caterpillars this spring and I'm sure it will house many more creepy crawlies to come.

It is easy to store (folds down and velcro holds together). The zipper is easy to use (both my son and daughter could manage it at 3 1/2. It is way more humane than the plastic bug holders with a magnifying glass because air circulates and temperature is less likely to get hot.

We highly recommend.
Customer rating is 2 of 5  Extra Expense Involved!!!   2010-01-31
By A. Phillips
I just opened this up to see that you have to pay extra $$ for the shipping and handling o the butterflies. Sorry, but this should be included in the price. I already paid for this and should not have to pay more! I am looking forward to doing this with my daughterm but disappointed that I have to shell out more money to get what I already should have purchased.
