Insect Lore Butterfly Farm Grow Kit

Description

The Butterfly Farm Grow Kit is a real, caterpillar to butterfly kit made by a company called Insect Lore, which was started by a California Entomologist. This educational kit shows children the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly. The kit comes with a mesh habitat, a cup of live baby caterpillars, a cup holder and feeder, a feeding pipette, and instructions. Note that since this set comes with the live caterpillars, it should be opened and ready to be set up immediately after received. To get a kit with a voucher for the live caterpillars to send in for after the kit is received, then choose this voucher butterfly kit instead – this option might be best for gifting. Kit dimensions are 16 x 12 x 12 inches.

Made by Insect Lore
Recommended Age: 4-years-old and over

Why we like it at Happy Little Tadpole:
This Butterly Farm Grow Kit is an experience that children should feel so lucky to be a part of – understanding the life cycle of an insect, watching it happen, then releasing it into the wild. We like Insect Lore’s grow kits because they were created by an Entomologist out of California, who researched different types of butterflies and decided on the Painted Lady species of butterfly, which is “found almost everywhere in the world and has a positive impact on the environment.” Carlos also developed the food included with the kit to make sure the butterflies get enough nutrients to thrive and survive.
