Watch as caterpillars demonstrate the miracle of metamorphosis. Butterfly Pavilion Kit comes with a certificate for 10 painted lady caterpillars delivered to your doorstep**, a 2' hanging butterfly pavilion, feeding eyedropper, and helpful guide. Please allow two weeks for the larvae to arrive after mailing in the certificate. The caterpillars take about one week to make the change into chrysalides; about one week after the chrysalides form, your butterflies will begin to emerge as adults. Butterflies may be released outdoors in temperatures above 55 degrees Fahrenheit. **Available only in the Continental USA and Alaska; requires an additional $5 priority shipping fee. Recommended Ages: Ages 5 and up Availability: In Stock
Author: Matt CarpenterRating: 5 out of 5 starsWhat a great idea for children. My 7 and 8 year old sons are fascinated by insects, and they loved the whole experience, from watching the caterpillars grow to feeding and releasing the adults. Based on our terrific experience, I think I'll get the mantis kit this coming year.
