This kit includes a 12 inch mesh habitat and a coupon to redeem 5 caterpillars.
Watch furry caterpillars grow into colorful, lively butterflies, then set them free. This butterfly kit makes it possible to study the caterpillar's transition as it matures, changes into a chrysalid, and finally emerges as a Painted Lady butterfly. Up-close observation and active participation ensure that this project will help you grow brand new wings of learning!
The Butterfly Garden includes a 12" mesh enclosure, fun-filled fact guide, detailed instructions, and a pre-paid coupon for 5 caterpillars. (Please note that the caterpillar farm requires submission of a $5.00 shipping/handling fee at the time that you mail them your coupon to receive the caterpillars. Allow 1-2 weeks for processing and shipping your caterpillars. Your caterpillars will arrive with nutrient and feeding materials.)
Many customers ask us why they are purchasing a kit that contains a coupon instead of receiving their caterpillars directly from Nature-Watch. Like most educational supply companies, we are not experts at breeding the butterfly larvae. Instead, we work with a butterfly farm that specializes in raising and shipping the caterpillars. This ensures that when you receive your caterpillars you will be able to see a complete butterfly metamorphosis. We hope this helps explain why you need to take the additional step of mailing your coupon to redeem your caterpillars.
