Review: Easy,fun product - Great for children’s learning
Review: Grandkids loved it! - I gave this to a 5 year old as a Christmas gift. He was excited, but wished he could get his caterpillars soon. Fast forward to spring. His mom ordered the 5 free caterpillars that you get with this kit, plus bought another 5. The caterpillars shipped within a few hours! All 10 caterpillars arrived alive, but a few looked a little worse for the wear, so we wondered if they’d survive. (The weather had turned pretty cold.) The boys were so excited to see that by the next morning, all 10 were actively moving around and eating. The 5 year old wanted to pet them! (Mom said no). They checked them each morning before school, and ran to check them as soon as they got home. They were excited when they saw them making their chrysalises, and as soon as they were all dry, my daughter transferred them to the enclosure. The boys checked them multiple times a day to see if any had hatched. Unfortunately, butterflies apparently prefer to hatch in the mornings, so with the boys in school, they didn’t get to see any actually emerge from their chrysalises, but they were excited to discover them drying their wings in the enclosure when they got home. All 10 caterpillars made a chrysalis, and all 10 butterflies emerged within a couple of days of one another. They waited to release them until the last hatchling was ready. (My daughter put a piece of orange in the enclosure for the first hatchlings to feed on while waiting for the last ones to hatch). The boys were so excited to watch this process! We learned a lot about butterflies by googling them. We will definitely order again next year. Maybe we’ll order a different variety of caterpillar next time. Awesome experience for the boys (5,7, & 13), my daughter, and me!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this kit work? When I was in elementary school we eat had a container that our lave grew in and then when they were born we put them in them**
A: Similar.    This is the complete kit and comes with a coupon to mail away for the butterfly larve once they come in the mail you start the process

**Q: Can you keep the butterflies in your home through the winter?**
A: After they hatch you need to release them within a few days.  You keep them inside during the hatching process.    I think the temp they said was 50s when you release them.  I am sorry I no longer have the directions.  The entire life cycle is only several weeks so if you do not release the butterflies they will lay eggs and you will need to feed the caterpillars and so the whole thing again.  Hope this helps.

**Q: How many caterpillars will be sent with a voucher from the Giant Butterfly Garden?  The picture of the box says 10, but the box I received is differen**
A: Was 5 unless it changed

**Q: Do you get vouchers for 2 cups of caterpillars or one cup? The picture of the box says 2 cups, but the amazon description says one cup.**
A: We got one cup for the habitat we ordered and that was what I expected. I looked at the box in the current description and I can tell you that is not the same picture that I saw when we ordered it; perhaps an incorrect photo was put in as I ordered this in 2016. All five of the caterpillars we got survived and underwent their metamorphosis into butterflies, it was very interesting and fun to do this.
