Editorial Review
Did you know that painted ladies (the butterflies, that is) taste with their feet and have 10,000 eyes? You and your kids will be fascinated by all you learn about these beautiful creatures with the Butterfly Garden from Insect Lore. The kit comes with a relatively easy-to-assemble observation chamber; supplies for feeding the butterflies (you provide only sugar and water); an informative booklet of clear instructions and butterfly facts; and a certificate for three to five free painted lady caterpillars. The metamorphosis from larva to butterfly takes about three weeks from when you receive the caterpillar larvae (which arrive in a small container with all the nutrients they need). Your children can watch the larvae increase dramatically in size, form chrysalides, and finally emerge into full-fledged painted ladies (it's suggested that they release the butterflies after a few days of observation). This would make a wonderful activity for families with kids of any age, but younger children will need help assembling the observation chamber and reading the instruction booklet. (Note: The manufacturer recommends that butterflies should not be set free in temperatures lower than 55 degrees Fahrenheit.) --Rachel Radway

User Reviews for Live Butterfly Garden

Absolutely Awesome!!!

This thing was fantastic. The caterpillars come in a clear plastic container which allows you to see everything! I think I almost loved the things more than my kids! AWESOME!

butterfly garden

I have purchased many Butterfly Gardens during the last 15 years, always this brand. They have all been successful. They make wonderful gifts for my grandchilden (of which I have 22!). We also use the larger Butterfly Gardens in our school with our kindergarden classes--again with success. They are a source of wonder bringing in the world of nature up close and personal. They become the pages of the chidren\'s journals and the inspiration for their artwork. I love this product.

doesn\'t come with larvae

This product doesn\'t come with the live butterfly larvae. One can order them online or call them with phone or fax. The online page wasn\'t working and phone - was always engaged 24 hours. I could however fax the order.



Everything else worked just fine. But, when the butterflys came out of their cocoons, there was some blood splattered into the net and some of the butterflys died immediately. Don\'t know why.



But, it was for my son who was 4 years old and he had as much fun and education as he could have watching the larvae eat and grow and turn into chrysalids and butterfly.

Wow!!! so much fun and excitement for the whole family)))

Very happy with that educational toy!!! my 5 year old daughter was very excited to watch cattepilars growing, when turning into crystalids, and feeding butterflies. We got 5 cattepilars and they all turned into butterflies.
