Live Caterpillars Mailed Directly to You
The Butterfly Pavilion comes with a coupon to send away for ten
caterpillars. The caterpillars are hatched from eggs in a
butterfly nursery and mailed to your home in a special clear
container, complete with caterpillar food.
Live Caterpillars
Live caterpillars and food
Keeping the caterpillars out of direct sunlight, children can
watch them eat, grow, and after seven to ten days, form their
chrysalides and begin their transformation into butterflies. The
transformation from caterpillar to butterfly normally takes two
to three weeks: seven to ten days in caterpillar stage, and seven
to ten days in chrysalis stage. Insect Lore guarantees that at
least six of the ten caterpillars you receive will grow into
adult butterflies. Observe the Metamorphosis Up Close
The Butterfly Pavilion comes with a pop-up butterfly observation
habitat, which is a cylindrical mesh container measuring 2 feet
tall. Once the caterpillars become chrysalides, they can be
transferred to the habitat, where they will complete their
transformation into adult Painted Lady butterflies. Children will
be excited to keep a close eye on the changing chrysalides and
watch this seemingly magical metamorphosis.
Your Very Own Butterflies
Once the butterflies emerge, children can have lots of fun
feeding them and watching them eat. The kit comes with a dropper
for squeezing sugar water into the habitat for the butterflies to
drink. It is recommended that flowers be placed in the habitat
for the butterflies to rest on while they enjoy their meals. Kids
will delight in observing the butterflies unfurl their
proboscises to suck up the sugar water.
If you receive your butterflies during warmer weather, when
temperatures are above 55 degrees, you can experience the
excitement of releasing the butterflies into the wild.
Caterpillars are available for delivery year-round, so if yours
arrive in a colder month, you can keep your fully-grown
butterflies in the mesh habitat for their lifespan, which is
about two to four weeks.
Additional mail-in certificates ( http://www..com/dp/B0014AJGBY ) are available for order, so once you've released your
butterflies, you can reuse the Butterfly Pavilion and experience
the magic of metamorphosis again and again.
