Insect Lore Butterfly Garden (Packaging May Vary)

Product Information

Caterpillars have false legs at the rear of their bodies, which can be used for grasping or as "suction" cups.

Enjoy an unforgettable opportunity to watch caterpillars change into chrysalides and then emerge as beautiful Painted Lady Butterflies, fun for all the family. After seven to ten days they will hang upside down and harden into chrysalids (chrysalids are also known as pupae). In a few days you will receive 3-5 live caterpillars with food to last them until they turn into butterflies.But for the education value, and the joy on my daughters face when they first started pupating, and then again when they emerged as stunning butterflies, it is well worth the cost.

You’ll save valuable time and you will receive everything you need in one convenient, exciting package.
