This was a really great project- I would recommend doing your homework on the butterflies and their lifespan first- ours lived their whole 2 wks as butterflies in the netted cage because I didn’t realize they were only dormant for a short period of time. 6 of 6 received became butterflies- it was easy and fun to use this kit to teach my children about metamorphosis.

Separate the food and caterpillars into the individual vials and place them in a safe place away from direct sunlight. The caterpillars will remain in the vial and will eat, spin silk and grow to TEN times their original size! After seven to ten days they will hang upside down and harden into chrysalides (chrysalides are also known as pupae).

Most kits come with a mesh pop-up tent to house the caterpillars and butterflies. This is an awesome cage! We have used it for many other things, including lightning bugs and other cool insects we want to spend a little time with. SUGGESTION - before you use it, place a paper plate in the bottom of it to help it stay clean. Those cute little caterpillers poop A LOT and so do the butterflies. More importantly, when the butterflies first emerge from their chrysalis, their wings drip a red liquid called meconium. It is the leftover metabolic waste from the caterpillar and can stain the mesh housing. caterpillars are sent in 1 cup, 10 are sent as 2 cups of 5, and school size of 32 are sent with 32 little cups for the students.Once the chrysalides have hardened, gently move them to the pop-up butterfly habitat. It will take about seven to ten more days for them to complete the transformation to adult butterflies. Also, the terrarium is one of the largest on this review—a massive 2 feet (60 cm) tall. So, plenty of room for butterflies to fly around. The kit doesn’t come with live caterpillars, but a 50%-off coupon is included to buy caterpillars. PLEASE do NOT pay for the delivery of these caterpillars, it is included in the price you have already paid! When collecting caterpillars you need to be aware that many species have spines and hairs that are irritating to the skin and some release chemicals so wear gloves when touching to avoid skin problems.
