My son opened the lid right when they arrived cause he was afraid they couldn't breathe. I covered them up right away. Will they be ok?

Yes. Holes in lid, fabric is breathable. Caterpillars use the fabric to hang from when they cocoon, so keep lid on. Don’t need to do anything till they’re all hanging, then place lids standing upright in the holder provided

Guarantee? all are alive & hatch. money back. i purchased caterpillars for my grandchildren & only one survived. who do i contact about replacements?

How can we contact them? We received 3 live caterpillars and the other 2 dead (and in pieces).

Can They Eat Peaches?

We have ours pineapple and watermelon. W Sweet and juicy

Is it normal for there to be webs in the cup?

It is a normal part of caterpillar life to form webs. The webs seem to help them when they eventually climb to the top of their cup to hang upside down. I have had webs every time with these and have ordered them almost every year for the last 15 years.
