## Description

Watch the wonder of nature unfold right before your eyes with the Insect Lore Butterfly Pavilion Kit with Live Caterpillars. Designed for parents, teachers, and curious young minds, this interactive butterfly kit offers an unforgettable hands-on science experience that brings the butterfly life cycle to life in real time. Ideal for at-home learning or classroom STEM activities, this educational kit includes 10 live baby caterpillars, reusable 2ft tall pop-up mesh habitat, and everything needed to care for your caterpillars as they transform into beautiful Painted Lady butterflies. From the moment your kit arrives, the journey begins. Kids can immediately observe the early stages of metamorphosis, watching caterpillars eat, grow, and prepare for their transformation. Over the course of about three weeks, the caterpillars form chrysalides, and with patience and care, emerge as vibrant butterflies ready to be released into the world. Along the way, children gain a deeper understanding of life science, responsibility, and the importance of pollinators in our ecosystem. Trusted by families and educators for nearly 50 years, Insect Lore’s butterfly growing kit includes a flower-shaped butterfly feeder, sugar packets, 2 exclusive Chrys-a-lid holding logs for easy transfer, a feeding dropper, STEM Activity Journal and a helpful caterpillar care guide—all designed to make the experience simple, educational, and fun. The entire kit supports early STEM learning, making it perfect for nature study units, spring science projects, or homeschool enrichment. Please note that caterpillars are sensitive to temperature and should only be ordered when daytime temperatures are between 50°F and 90°F. Caterpillars can only be shipped within the continental U.S. Ready to raise butterflies? Let the learning and discovery begin the moment the box arrives.

Review: What a wonderful way to learn - This was wonderful and my granddaughter loved it!!! So much fun to watch the tiny caterpillers turn into big, fat caterpillers, they build a cocoon and finally hatch out as beautiful butterflies.
Review: Excellent curious minds - My children enjoyed watching the caterpillars grow and releasing the butterflies in the wild. 8 out of 10 formed crystalises. 6 out of 10 caterpillars became butterflies. They emerged different days. 1 emergrd 2 days after. There were 3 but only 1 was translucent and light tan in color. The other 2 where smaller and nearly black. I made tge mistake of thinking the lid was supposed to be removed, once all the catipellers "attached" themselves to the lid. I believe I was supposed to wait until they all formed their chrysalis. When I removed the lid and put it in the holder, a few caterpillars decided to crawl to top of habitat. I don't think this affected their survival as the 1 each that did emerge where on lid and on roof of habitat. It just made visually watching them more difficult.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this kit come with the caterpillar food included?**
A: Yes, this kit come with caterpillar food.

**Q: This says monarch butterflies. Is it actually a monarch kit? I don’t want another variety of butterflies.**
A: The butterflies that I received were painted ladys.  They are similar to the monarch but smaller.

**Q: What is the best time of year for this project so that the butterflies don’t die after they’re released?**
A: The summer months are the best time of the year since butterflies like super warm muggy weather. We usually order this kit in June but for the first time we ordered one of these kits in April, for Easter this year. Our butterflies are hatching today as we speak and I am a little worried about the weather, luckily next week will be in the 80’s where we live and they should survive... I have already saw a few monarchs out flying around... the process of when the caterpillars first arrive to when you release the butterflies from their cage is about a 3-4 week process so I would say right now would be ok to order.

**Q: Will a butterfly still develop if the chrysalis fell off the lid?**
A: I had 2 fall off the lid and both developed. I used the tweezers to place one of them in the crook of a branch.  One of the butterflies had a damaged wing but it still lived and fluttered around. We really enjoyed watching the process.  Hope this helps answer your question.
