Nature Gift Store Live Butterfly Kit: Shipped with 5 Painted Lady Caterpillars Now- Pop Up Cage

Product sent to my grand niece who is very excited by it. She's 4 years old.

The media could not be loaded. My mother-in-law, who is 86, loves the outdoors, nature, flowers and especially, butterflies. Unfortunately, she has severe health issues that prevent her from leaving her home. My 23 year old son, who had autism absolutely was fascinated by the kit as well. We used to buy him these kits, when he was a child, too. This was a wonderful and fun project for her to do. She was so excited. This kit could be fur a child or a nature loving grandma, with a child trapped inside. This kit came with everything we needed, from caterpillar, larva and to the butterfly stage. We received a couple extra caterpillars, which delighted my mother-in-law. She watched the caterpillars daily, as they ate and grew tremendously large. She was brought back to her childhood memories, when the caterpillars started weaving their cocoons. She remembered watching them attach themselves to milkweed stalks. She eagerly awaited until “poof” one day, the first gorgeous butterfly emerged. She was beyond excited. She cared for them tenderly, like a mother. Then came the day to let them fly free. She was sad to see them go, but very proud to have raised them! My son took the enclosure outside to the flower bushes and released these beauties. It was perfect. The experience was worth it all. The kit was reasonably priced, but in a way was priceless, for us. All but two of the caterpillars didn’t make it to the butterfly stage. But, as I said, we were sent a couple extra caterpillars, so we released a total of five painted lady butterflies, as advertised. The kit includes clear cup, with the caterpillars and their food, a mister, a pop up, reusable, mesh habitat, a couple sugar packets, eye dropper, a butterfly feeding container, and a minimum of five live caterpillars. We will definitely be buying this again next season. It was beautiful watching my son and mother-in-in law work together, to ensure that the caterpillars, cocoons and butterflies, were well cared for. This huge a huge hit! It performs as advertised! So very highly recommend this beautiful kit, fir young and old, alike. Five glowing stars for this product. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We homeschool and we had such fun doing this project. Although the seller guarantees 3 live butterflies, all six of our caterpillars turned into butterflies. Very cool experience. Beautiful. Very easy instructions.

Amazing customer service!Our first caterpillars arrived dead and our grandchildren were very disappointed. We contacted the company and explained and they sent us a new lively set of caterpillars. We are very happy!

My 12 year old son used this kit to hatch butterflies in our homeschool. I loved that the kit already came with caterpillars and I didn't need to send away for them. When they came, in the heat of the Texas summer, they were put into our mailbox and I didn't realize they were there until the next day. Luckily, it had been overcast the day before and so the caterpillars did just fine. Out of 5 caterpillars we were able to hatch 4 butterflies. It was a great learning experience for us and this kit and its simple instructions made it easy to do. I would recommend this kit to anyone looking to grow their own butterflies.

Arrived in a timely manner. Was exactly as described. Grandchildren loved it.

My niece has four very active children. I purchased this for her to do with her kids and they loved it. Only one chrysalis didn't turn into a butterfly. Mine just started emerging this morning. I grew up on a farm and have always loved nature. Being able to watch this process up close is so enjoyable. I highly recommend the kit for anyone - young or old.Unfortunately - I had to order a second set of caterpillars for myself because the first ones were dead due to heat exposure as it was during a heat wave. It was no fault of the seller. I didn't get home in time to get them out of the mailbox as soon as I should have. If you order, make sure you'll be able to get them inside ASAP.

Me and my daughter (4 yrs old) got this because her school ended up doing this and she missed almost the entirety of the project. So it became our project. It was staggering to see just how tuned into nature my daughter really was! She was caring for them and checking up on them. She would even talk with them and ask them about their day. She really went all in for this project 😂. It's a fun thing to do, and it's great for mother nature. The only thing I'd watch out for is ants. We had Popsicles and my daughter being a 4year old left her stick out and it happened to be in the same general area as the butterfly. They weren't all butterflies yet. There were still some chrysalis left. But the ants literally went to the butterflies to check them out, ate one of the chrysalis and began to eat a butterflies wing. We let all the butterflies go that day when we found them with the ants there. We kept the one butterfly with a damaged wing. But besides that it was a beautiful experience. And one that we'll be doing every spring from here on out♡ we also received 14 caterpillars when we had only ordered I think 5 or 7. They will send more due to the possibility of some not making it upon delivery.
