Review: Great Homeschool Learning - Caterpillars arrived in a very early stage with plenty of time to watch grow! I think 2/10 will not make it (one has a cracked chrysalis and the other did not hang in J shape). I’m glad I got the kit with 10 so we can still hopefully see our butterflies emerge soon 🦋 Such a beautiful homeschool addition. Will definitely be an annual tradition! This is very age-appropriate. I love it comes with all the supplies needed
Review: From caterpillar to beautiful butterfly! - This is an amazing kit!!!! I have bought this kit twice last spring and this spring! My granddaughter was amazed to watch the butterflies go through the various stages and the butterflies were beautiful!! We LOFE this kit!! I highly recommend!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this package come with everything including the mesh cage?**
A: My package came with everything pictured including the live caterpillars. Recieved March 2019

**Q: can this be stored for a week or two? how soon should i start using it?**
A: We received live caterpillars about 2 weeks ago.  You can probably store for as much as a day or two as everything they need is in the container, but I wouldn't wait much longer as things start happening quickly.

**Q: I'm in Vegas so in 3 weeks it'll be 50-55 at night ? So will they survive after I release them**
A: From the Insect Lore web site "Release your butterflies when daytime temperatures are at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Butterflies need this warmth to fly, feed, mate and pollinate."  ........  Also, "Adult butterflies typically live for 2 to 4 weeks during the warm parts of the year. During that time they will feed, mate, lay eggs, and begin the amazing butterfly life cycle, or metamorphosis, all over again!"  Hope that helps.

**Q: Can I play with my caterpillars?**
A: The instructions state not to play with the caterpillars. They are left in their containers until after they form into chrysalides.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun educational kit with easy to follow instructions
*by L***E on March 20, 2026*

The mixed reviews made me apprehensive about ordering this Butterfly Garden Kit but am glad that I did. Not only will this make an excellent centerpiece for our butterfly themed party, the educational aspect will last long after the party is over. The kit arrived on time and in excellent condition. The outside of the package was labeled 'Open Immediately Live Insects Perishable'. The box contains all the listed items and they are all in perfect condition. I ordered 10 caterpillars which arrive in two containers. Both appear to hold viable caterpillars. Since none have begun to form chrysalis' we wont know if they have all survived just yet. The easy to follow instruction sheet will make taking care of these fun and easy.
