Awesome project for kids or even homeschool
We got this to grow ladybugs for our vegetable garden. My daughter wanted to plant a garden this year so we planted our seeds and got this lady bug tank that arrived a couple days later. It was perfect timing because the lady bug larvae took a couple weeks to turn into lady bugs and it gave our seeds time to sprout and get about a foot tall. Then we released the lady bugs into our garden. We got to learn about a garden and how to care for it at the same time learning about the cycle of these beetles and how they protect our garden from other pests. Was so much fun. It even came with a journal that has activities inside we were able to do together. Now we have our lady bug land and can clean it out and get larvae and repeat the process. We received 15 larvae and all 15 turned to lady bugs. Definitely recommend. My kids loved it and I did too.

Kit failed & there's not enough included food
My small children do the butterfly kits from this company every year and we love them. This year we wanted to try the ladybugs. Unfortunately, it's not going well. Larvae arrived in great shape but before pupating the food began to run out. We followed all of the directions but lost ALL of our ladybugs, except one, shortly into their pupal stage. My daughter was distraught and we opted to release our single survivor to the yard before it'd fully matured. We feel like awful ladybug serial killers after this experience! Definitely proceed with caution

Insect lore has great customer service!
UPDATE- We have received a replacement tube of larve immediately and they look great! I did everything through email. I got very quick responses (even on a holiday).OP- We got the habitat and set it up per the instructions. Its been 5 days and it just looks like a pile of sand in the habitat. We either didnt get larvae or they died so small we cant even see them.We contacted insect lore and we are hoping they can help. -I will update-

Great experience for toddler.
We loved this little lady big house. Very low maintenance and all of them seemed to hatch! My 3 year old loves watching all the phases of the lady bug life cycle! They loved for a long time then we took them outside to be released so hopefully they will keep the aphids away in the summer on my roses. We can’t wait to try it again! Even my 10 and 8 year old loves it. FYI the bugs do come live in the package so make sure you open it right away!

I think larvae was to old
Been using this company for my classroom for years. Only complaint was the turned into ladybugs in less then a week. Wasn’t much time for student to study them in the past is was much longer.
