Best Seller! Watch the Miracle of Metamorphosis Up Close

This educational kit offers children an invaluable lesson of metamorphosis, science, patterns, patience, and life cycle studies. With the giant and airy butterfly habitat it is perfect for raising butterflies in a home or classroom setting.

The butterfly cycle can take between 3 and 5 weeks to complete depending on the time of year, please take this into account when ordering.

See an Amazing Transformation

6-10 caterpillars (live butterfly cultures) will arrive within 2 clear plastic cups with all of the nutritious food they need. Place the cups in a safe place away from direct sunlight. The caterpillars will remain in the cups and will eat, spin silk and grow to TEN times their original size! After seven to ten days they will hang upside down and harden into chrysalides (chrysalides are also known as pupae).

Raise Your Very Own Butterflies

Once the chrysalides have hardened, gently move them to the pop-up butterfly habitat. It will take about seven to ten more days for them to complete the transformation to adult butterflies.
