Insect LoreTwo Cups of Caterpillars Deluxe | 10 Live Baby Caterpillars, Stickers Included | Painted Lady Butterflies

We ordered may 26th they were shipped within 3 days of ordering. I was concerned because one shipping stop was through pheonix amd it is hot there. When we opened the box all the caterpillars appeared dead. But the next day all 5 were up amd moving within a few days they were big fat caterpillars so if shipping takes too long you will not get small caterpillars. The kids loved watching these at all stages. The. Butterfly's were not theost beautiful they were more moth like colors. It was neat to see them anyway

Perfect, educational, and exciting for my littles. They loved awaiting the butterflies and watching them transform! We only had 1 little guy that didn't make it.

I made 2 orders 1 for my classroom children and the other for my son’s classroom. I received 10 caterpillars and only 9 made it into butterflies in my classroom. My classroom enjoyed it and this was fun and easy. I would order again

I'm very disappointed with Insect Lore this year. Both cups of caterpillars had caterpillars of extremely varying ages. 2 caterpillars were so small, they were buried among the waste of the older caterpillars and died. The rest of the butterflies all hatched so far apart, I had some flying around like crazy and ready to be fed, while others were just hatching and needed to dry their wings. Several ended up getting injured because of the others flying around like crazy and knocking them around before their wings could properly dry. I won't be buying these again anytime soon. I've done these caterpillars with my daughter for many years and have never had this problem. A company of this calliber and price point should have this down to a science and deliver caterpillars all on the same development timeline. This year's experience was horrible!!

We received our shipment earlier than expected, all 10 caterpillars were alive and are very healthy, and the kit came with everything we need to raise these little guys. I'm very happy with this purchase.

My sister loves getting the caterpillars and seeing them turn into butterflies. She takes great care of them. I gave this 4 stars because sometimes this will come with a broken cup or caterpillars dead. The growth is amazing and this teaches our little brothers the importance of caterpillars and how to take care of them.

My daughter’s caterpillars and ladybugs died in her classroom this year so I ordered some for home. My youngest (7) and my granddaughters (4&2) as well and Mimi and great Memaw absolutely loved watching our caterpillars go through the stages. Even after release the butterflies came around for a couple of days.

One of the cups only had 3 caterpillars which was a bummer since I ordered this expecting 5 in each.Aloe please note the last sentence on the description to not order when temperatures are below 55 or above 85. Some of our caterpillars arrive dead, which included the cup that only had three to begin with.
