You will need a mesh cage for the end of the butterfly lifecycle. **Q: How many days does it take for them to hatch from when you receive the caterpillars?** A: We received our caterpillars on the 10th and they formed their chrysalis on the 22nd. It is supposed to take 10 - 14 days from then for the butterflies to appear. So total should be around 3 - 4 weeks. From the video, you can see when the chrysalis was forming. Very informative and exciting to watch. ## Frequently Bought Together - Clearwater Butterfly Live Painted Lady Butterflies - 5 Live Caterpillars - Live Caterpillars to Butterflies - Caterpillars for Butterfly Kit - Mesh Cage Not Included - Live Butterfly Kit - 5 Count - Insect Lore Butterfly Garden Kit, Painted Lady Butterfly Kit with Voucher for Live Caterpillars, Butterfly Habitat, STEM Journal & More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/201350427-5-live-painted-lady-caterpillars-to-butterflies-butterfly-activity-kit](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/201350427-5-live-painted-lady-caterpillars-to-butterflies-butterfly-activity-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-17*
