This is my favorite place to get our caterpillars from. I tried two sources last year and thei is the one I reordered from. Each cup actually had seven caterpillars in them last year and this year. The caterpillars were bigger when they arrived than the other source I used. I am so pleased with this company and this is where I will order every year!

We had a blast raising these caterpillars and watching them flutter around as butterflies.Only thing I'd change would be more variety of species.

Bought for grandkids they loved watching the cycle of like! They observed the caterpillars building a cocoon then inside the cocoon for the transformation! 5 beautiful butterflies bloomed ready to be released into the trees. It was a hit even the parents enjoyed

Everything came as described. The instructions were perfect, and the process of caterpillars to butterflies went perfectly. My kids loved it!

Absolutely memory making experience using this butterfly kit with my son! We were able to raise 8 butterflies and release them. It was all inclusive, no fuss process the way they have it set up. Each caterpillar was healthy and beautiful. We learned so much and really had a valuable experience for my son's homeschooling science project.

We already have a habitat, so I just needed to order the refill. I feel it's overpriced, but it served its purpose. The kids were excited to watch the changes and finally see butterflies hatch. The kit included everything we needed, and all our butterflies hatched.

Through no fault of the seller, my success in grown butterflies was disasterous. Here's why: I was gifted a Butterfly Habitat as a birthday present and ordered 10 caterpillars. After reading a review on growing and releasing butterflies from a father who released his with all his children around, all were dismayed to watch birds eat two immediately. I decided birds are too hungry in the morning and hoped their bellies were full by afternoon. I put out the terrarium Saturday afternoon with it fully open on one side hoping they'd quickly find the honeysuckle, roses, pomegranate, and rosemary flowers. All 8 decided to stay in their habitat that night but in the morning, I saw my 10 month old puppy, Jorja fascinated with something. I screamed and Jorja ceased her physical activity. My worst fears proved true and it was a butterfly that caught her attention. I grabbed the dog rake and shovel, ready to put my baby out of her misery. Yes, it was a young butterfly, able to walk swiftly, flit about, but not yet prepared to fly. As I could not see any damage to her wings or feet, I hoped for the best. Cripes, I can't take a step in the yard without scanning the ground for fear of stepping on one. Whose idea was this, anyway? My pups are carefully monitored for potty breaks and only one at a time allowed out. Yesterday, I noticed a patio chair had a puddle of water on it so I tilted it. Oh no, a drenched butterfly on the deck! I put a large plastic colander over her with a water bottle on top to hold it down and let her dry off overnight. Last night I went to wash out one of the dog's toys only to find a wing inside. Two hours later I took the habitat to the front yard to encourage (read scaring them out from the opposite side) the two remaining butterflies. Yeah! One took flight immediately and the other scampered through the flowered shrubbery. I'm done. Whose idea of fun was it to "grow your own butterflies" in the comfort of your home? Can I order someone on Amazon to comfort me?Advice: Prepare for release early (misting with bottles, putting food in with some chrysalis on bottom and others on top. Whoa, taping those who are still on chrysalis top to terrarium challenging. Scotch tape not strong enough and what if duct tape traps butterfly? Start slow and with few lest you have 1) ready to fly 2) need to feed & pump wings, 3) chrysalis on top needing food (orange slice, sugar water) 4) chrysalis on bottom that may emerge can't get chrushed with sugar water sponge or orange slice. I could write a book..
