From the moment your kit arrives, the journey begins. Kids can immediately observe the early stages of metamorphosis, watching caterpillars eat, grow, and prepare for their transformation. Over the course of about three weeks, the caterpillars form chrysalides, and with patience and care, emerge as vibrant butterflies ready to be released into the world. Along the way, children gain a deeper understanding of life science, responsibility, and the importance of pollinators in our ecosystem. Trusted by families and educators for nearly 50 years, Insect Lore’s butterfly growing kit includes a flower-shaped butterfly feeder, sugar packets, 2 exclusive Chrys-a-lid holding logs for easy transfer, a feeding dropper, STEM Activity Journal and a helpful caterpillar care guide—all designed to make the experience simple, educational, and fun. The entire kit supports early STEM learning, making it perfect for nature study units, spring science projects, or homeschool enrichment. Please note that caterpillars are sensitive to temperature and should only be ordered when daytime temperatures are between 50°F and 90°F.

Is it actually a monarch kit? I don’t want another variety of butterflies.** A: The butterflies that I received were painted ladys. They are similar to the monarch but smaller. **Q: What is the best time of year for this project so that the butterflies don’t die after they’re released?** A: The summer months are the best time of the year since butterflies like super warm muggy weather. We usually order this kit in June but for the first time we ordered one of these kits in April, for Easter this year. Our butterflies are hatching today as we speak and I am a little worried about the weather, luckily next week will be in the 80’s where we live and they should survive... I have already saw a few monarchs out flying around... the process of when the caterpillars first arrive to when you release the butterflies from their cage is about a 3-4 week process so I would say right now would be ok to order. **Q: Will a butterfly still develop if the chrysalis fell off the lid?** A: I had 2 fall off the lid and both developed. I used the tweezers to place one of them in the crook of a branch. One of the butterflies had a damaged wing but it still lived and fluttered around. We really enjoyed watching the process.
