Product Information

Caterpillar to Butterfly Kit for Classroom is a rewarding classroom exercise, even if you haven’t grown critters with your class before. Up to 32 children can take part in this activity and grow their own butterflies with this kit. If conditions aren’t right for releasing butterflies, keep them indoors in the mesh terrarium and feed them regularly. During this time, the caterpillar goes through a complete metamorphosis. After the transformation, the ugly grub emerges from the chrysalis as a beautiful butterfly or moth. 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). The Butterfly Garden Habitat is a reusable, cylindrical mesh container perfect for up close butterfly viewing! When not in use it folds flat for easy storage.

This rewarding educational kit is designed specifically for teachers and classrooms. It enables each student to raise their own Painted Lady Butterfly and witness the wonder of the butterfly life cycle.

Caterpillars from the wild

This butterfly kit contains one of the best-looking mesh habitats in this review. The dome-shaped terrarium has a decorative vine inside for the cocoons to hang from. Included in the kit are a magnifying glass, vine, base cap with a sponge, and educational poster. Alternatively, attract butterflies to your own garden by creating a wildlife area with wildflower seeds and pollinator(bee and butterfly)-friendly plants. You don’t need much space – we plant wildflower seeds in a recycled wheelbarrow container, which looks pretty as well as being great for conservation.

This educational kit gives children, students and families 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. caterpillars are sent in 1 cup, 10 caterpillars are sent as 2 cups of 5, and school-size of 32 caterpillars are sent with 32 little cups for the kids. Once the pupae have hardened, gently move them to the pop-up butterfly habitat which you can make realistic with stalks and flowers. It will take about seven to ten more days for them to complete the transformation to adult butterflies. By which stage your children will be just so excited!

This complete caterpillar-to-butterfly growing kit has a pop-up tubular mesh habitat. As with most of the top Grow your own Butterfly kits, easy-to-follow instructions are included. If you don’t want to grow butterflies but have lots in your area, why not encourage the kids to identify and record what they see in a garden butterfly survey with Butterfly Conservation? Attract Butterflies to Your Garden The below photo is not long after emergence but we missed the actual event! Notice how soft and crumpled the wings are at first. It doesn’t really look like a butterfly. And the red substance isn’t blood but a liquid that comes out during emergence.Our Butterfly Breeding Kit features caterpillars of the Painted Lady Butterfly (Vanessa cardui, L), which are native, migrating butterfly, that can fly thousands of miles in search of food. They lay up to 500 eggs and their caterpillars feed on weeds such as nettles, so gardeners don’t need to worry! Once you have released your butterflies, they can often be seen for several days- especially if you have a butterfly friendly garden and feeder. These Butterfly Breeding kits come with everything you need to raise your own Painted Lady butterflies. Caterpillars don’t need to be given water, they get the water from their leaves. However, they do like a slightly humid atmosphere so it’s a really good idea to mist the net once a day to keep the humidity levels up especially if you have air con or heating on. Along with the plastic container and caterpillars, you get a deluxe log for a chrysalis station where the chrysalises hang during metamorphosis.
