Review: Wonderful educational and fun to see - We love "raising " these each summer and the letting them go on out butterfly tree. So easy to use. I use them as an educational event for my day care..
Review: The Fascinating World of Caterpillars - Caterpillars, those small and seemingly insignificant creatures, have an enchanting world hidden beneath their tiny, wriggling bodies. My recent experience observing caterpillars has left me in awe of nature's extraordinary transformations. **Pros**: 1. **Metamorphosis**: The life cycle of a caterpillar, culminating in its transformation into a butterfly or moth, is nothing short of miraculous. Watching this metamorphosis unfold is a captivating journey that brings a sense of wonder to both children and adults. 2. **Biodiversity**: The diversity among caterpillar species is astonishing. From striking colors to intricate patterns, caterpillars come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, making them a joy to discover in nature. 3. **Educational**: Observing caterpillars is an excellent way to introduce kids to the concepts of life cycles, biology, and ecology. It provides an opportunity for hands-on learning and instills an appreciation for the natural world. **Cons**: 1. **Short Lifespan**: Caterpillars have relatively short lifespans in their larval stage. This might be disappointing for those who become attached to their little companions, but it's an integral part of their life cycle. In conclusion, caterpillars are nature's enchanting storytellers, weaving tales of transformation and resilience. These humble creatures have the power to instill awe, curiosity, and respect for the natural world. My experience with caterpillars has been nothing short of magical, and I encourage everyone to take a moment to observe these remarkable beings in their journey of life.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Several cocoons have fallen from the paper inside the cups. What can I do??**
A: Try placing a paper towel on the bottom of the butterfly habitat you will use.  Then gently tip them onto the paper towel at the bottom of the habitat.  I only had one come loose from the paper, but it did survive and emerge from the chrysalis.  Avoid touching them as much as possible.

**Q: The Cats ate a hole through the paper lid. What do I do?**
A: You can cover the hole with more paper. Try using a paper towel.  One of my students told me their dog ate the entire cup of food and caterpillars! Not much you can do about that.

**Q: Do I need to buy a little net structure for them in addition to this kit? Where do they attach the cocoon to?**
A: You should buy one of the butterfly net enclosures for them. Once they make their chrysalis, you can pin the paper they’re attached to, to the inside of the net. Ours are hatching this week!

**Q: How long does it take for them to grow to butterflies?**
A: The directions were pretty accurate on estimating the length of time.  As I recall, it was 3-4 weeks.  All of the caterpillars were not the same size, so they formed their chrysalis at different time and became butterflies at different times.  At lease one caterpillar was much smaller so it took longer for it to grow and form a  chrysalis.  I think she named him "Tiny".

*by A***R on December 11, 2025*

It was my 2d time getting it. It's really interesting to watch them grow and turn into butterflies. My daughter loved it. They are very pretty. Let them out in a summer in a yard and in a green house in a winter.
