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: Awesome project! - Awesome project for my toddler to participate in. All five of our caterpillars made their transition into butterflies and we had so much fun tracking their projects and watching nature do it's thing!

### ⭐ What a horrible experience
*by L***E on May 3, 2026*

What a waste of money and upset kids! Got the set of 10. We ended up with 3 good butterflies in the end, 1 that could not fly, 1 that died, and the remaining either died while trying to emerge or just never emerged. - We started out with 10 caterpillars. 2 cups of 5. Within a day we had 9. Assuming one got eaten by another??? - Once the remaining 9 got into their chrysalises, 4 immediately fell. We ended up out of the 2 packs only having 5 (3 and 2) that stuck to the lid. We scooped the remaining up as suggested, put it on a paper towel, and leaned it against the mesh. - 5 emerged (HALF!)… and out of those only 3 actually flew. Out of 10!!! *1 had crumpled wings and got stuck in the chrysalis (a floor one). It kept getting stuck on its back and died. Kids were horrified. * A second floor one had one good wing and a half wing, could not fly. * Third floor one was good!!! * Fourth floor one died trying to emerge * 2 of the 5 hanging ones emerged just fine! * 3 of the 5 hanging ones never even emerged!! Not the fun kids project it was supposed to be!! Never again!
