Great learning experience!

Great learning experience for kids and adults! It’s easy to use. Instructions are easy. My only complaint is I have ordered this numerous times and every time I only get four caterpillars even though it’s states you should get five. I feel like this point they owe me a free cup of caterpillars lol. Definitely worth buying. It makes a great gift also. Also, the netting tent they come in last a long time so we can do butterflies every year!

Best caterpillar kit

This is our favorite caterpillar kit. Since we already have the butterfly net, we buy this cup of caterpillars every spring. This year it was a little delayed and the caterpillars were grown a little more than usual but my kids are still excited about their new pets! We love watching the transformation happen before our very own eyes! Highly recommend this caterpillars kit!

Poor quality

I've been getting my caterpillars from Insect Lore through Amazon for the last 4 or 5 years. I feel like each year, the quality has gone done. I used to get 5 healthy caterpillars. Then last year it was 4 (one died in the cup), then of the 4, only 3 cocooned properly, and then 1 of those 3 didn't hatch. Now, this year, we only had 3 caterpillars in the cup, and now that they just cocooned a few days ago, one cocoon already fell off the top of the cup before I could transfer them to the netting. For the money I spend getting these caterpillars for my daughter to hatch and then let loose in our garden, it's not worth it anymore. When I pay for 5, I expect 5 caterpillars in the cup, not the 3 I received this time. I may look elsewhere for caterpillars next year.

So fun and beautiful

Everyone should do this ! I got them for my nephew and we had so much fun and he learned a lot and I’m definitely going to buy more and grow some butterflies again. Such a great gift for literally any age. Just so beautiful and not one showed up dead during shipping.

Awesome Quality Product

This is the best source I've found for caterpillars to observe; we've ordered them for several years now. They came clear across the country in two days, and all the caterpillars were alive (temps getting into low 80s as a high). The cup was very well packaged. Wonderful product! My kids are having a blast, and they're still just caterpillars!

Fun for kids!

Overall good- kids loved it. 1 died immediately and 1 died a week in. 1 had deformed wings. 2 made it and flew away with ease :)

Cannibal Caterpillar

Not much luck this year for our kids. After unpacking we noticed one caterpillar was already dead. Down to 4. We had one caterpillar kill another caterpillar (chomped it in half). The serial killer constantly tried to attack the other remaining two. The other two however did survive. All 3 eventually did turn to a chrysalis but 10 days went by and nothing happened. We waited a bit longer but the chrysalis turned dark black...dead black. Nature!
