Butterfly Garden® With Live Cup of Caterpillars™

Watch the wonder of nature unfold right before your eyes with the Insect Lore Butterfly Garden Kit with Live Caterpillars. Specially designed for parents, teachers, and curious young minds, this interactive butterfly kit offers an unforgettable hands-on science experience that brings the butterfly life cycle to life in real time. Ideal for at-home learning or classroom STEM activities, this educational kit includes 5 live baby caterpillars, a 12-inch tall reusable pop-up mesh habitat, and everything needed to care for your caterpillars as they transform into beautiful Painted Lady butterflies. From the moment your kit arrives, the journey begins. Kids can immediately observe the early stages of metamorphosis, watching caterpillars eat, grow, and prepare for their transformation. Over the course of about three weeks, the caterpillars form chrysalides, and with patience and care, emerge as vibrant butterflies ready to be released into the world. Along the way, children gain a deeper understanding of life science, responsibility, and the importance of pollinators in our ecosystem. Trusted by families and educators for nearly 50 years, Insect Lore’s butterfly growing kit includes a flower-shaped butterfly feeder, sugar packets, an exclusive Chrys-a-lid™ log for easy transfer, a feeding dropper, and a helpful caterpillar care guide—all designed to make the experience simple, educational, and fun. The entire kit supports early STEM learning, making it perfect for nature study units, spring science projects, or homeschool enrichment. Please note that caterpillars are sensitive to temperature and should only be ordered when daytime temperatures are between 50°F and 90°F. Caterpillars can only be shipped within the continental U.S. Ready to raise butterflies? Let the learning and discovery begin the moment the box arrives.
