An unforgettable opportunity to watch caterpillars change into chrysalides and then emerge as beautiful Painted Lady Butterflies. Raise and feed your very own butterflies and then release them into the wild! The entire transformation from caterpillar to adult butterfly takes about three to five weeks. 
3-5 caterpillars (a live butterfly culture) will arrive in a clear plastic cup with all of the nutritious food they need. Place the cup in a safe place away from direct sunlight. The caterpillars will remain in the cup 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.

Your exclusive free gift 
Bunch O’ Butterflies worth £5.99
This collection includes 18 colourful and realistic butterflies. Painted Ladies, Monarchs, Swallowtails, Blue Morphos, and more! Each butterfly is unique and detailed.

Butterfly Kit Reviews: 
So easy to use and very fascinating to watch the changes take place. All five of ours hatched and our children and the children that we look after have been so interested watching and helping. We have to let our remaining three go soon and we will miss having them around. Will be ordering again. Great product.

A brilliant set. The kids absolutely loved watching them change from small caterpillars through to butterfly's that they were able to release. We will be purchasing refills for years to come.
