Painted Lady Butterfly Kits

The perfect at-home or school activity to entertain and teach kids about natural lifecycles, metamorphosis, and change–all through an exciting kit that can entertain kids and adults from caterpillar to butterfly! Kits are usually available from late March to October.

1 Kit includes:

• 5 baby painted lady caterpillars in a cup
• Enough food to last until adulthood
• A reusable, 7-inch pop-up enclosure for releasing the adult butterflies
• Butterfly coloring pages 
• Instructions for care

It takes about 12 days on average for the caterpillars to reach the chrysalis stage, and another 8-10 days for them to emerge as butterflies. You can plan on the whole process taking about 3 weeks from start to finish. If timing is a concern, you may place your order and pick it up later this Spring (just let us know in the comment box as you check out)!
