Why Painted Lady Butterflies?
Why offer painted lady caterpillars instead of monarch butterfly caterpillars? Live monarch butterfly caterpillars are regulated by the USDA and can only be shipped to states close to where they were hatched which makes ordering difficult. Monarch butterfly caterpillars need live milkweed to complete metamorphosis, which is hard to find or pre-grow at home for them. Painted lady butterfly larvae will eat artificial diets and can be shipped anywhere.
Ages 4+ with adult supervision.

The Caterpillar to Butterfly Classroom Kit was very fun for my students. They enjoyed observing the transformation. They also enjoyed watching them eat and move around.The students enjoyed putting the caterpillars and food in their individual containers. The kit was shipped very quickly. The caterpillars arrived safely and alive. All the materials that came with the kit made it easy to put everything together and ensured we had everything we needed to watch a successful metamorphosis. I will be using this kit again in the future.

Awesome!! Loved everything. Comes with a few extra caterpillars (bought the 32 refills) to make sure that you get your money’s worth in case there’s a chance that one or two don’t make it during shipping. I bought these for myself and transferred them into larger containers with breathable lids for them. The kit came with sugar and a container for the sugar water when the caterpillars turn into butterflies which was a huge plus because I had no idea the kit came with that! Great instructions very helpful. Awesome for a classroom or something for yourself just for fun!

I ordered 10 caterpillars that came in two separate containers. They were a joy to watch hatch! Unfortunately, only one hatched from one of the containers….and four hatched in the second container! Regardless, we are going to try another order and hope we have better luck.

We had so much fun watching our caterpillars and then wait as they formed into butterflies. We had 4 of 5 live and we released them in the backyard. Highly recommend!

Ordered 5 caterpillars, got 7 and they all came alive and all made it to butterflydom. Would do it again. Kids loved it.

The students were so excited to watch the caterpillars!! I love to see my students engaged in learning. They would write about butterflies in their Journal.

I only had two caterpillars come in my pack. That being said, they were both healthy and went through the total transformation. I loved the feeder and sugar that were included.

The first shipment arrived with dead caterpillars, but they stood behind their product, and sent a new box directly out-all arrived safe and sound. My grandson LOVES watching them and releasing them. Great product!

It was a great experience to watch the caterpillars grow and change. But one of our caterpillars died, which was upsetting and disappointing.

very are very happy with our caterpillars. We actually got 6 in the jar. (although one did not ever emerge from the chrysalis. My boys -in 2nd grade and kindergarten- enjoyed them.

I recieved a message the day before to let me expect them and keep them out of the weather. All six lived to become butterflies. When I added 2 small plants into their habitate, they mated and I now have leaves full of eggs.Getting ready to plant my plants in the yard this weekend and hoping I will have a steady suppy of butterflies in the yard over the next few weeeks.

I teach preschool and we had the butterflies during our insect unit. My kit actually contained 6 live caterpillars, all of which made it through the full life cycle before my students’ eyes. When we let them go, we were even able to put the butterflies on the kids’ hands! It was such a great experience for the kids.

The caterpillars arrived quickly and my Kindergarten class loved watching them grow and become cocoons. They were so excited when the butterflies came out.
Happy Mom –
The kit came with 6 caterpillars (one extra) so two unfortunately they didn’t get enough to eat and we lost those. But so far we have had two butterflies hatch and my kids are excited about them. All in all we are pretty satisfied.
