## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful butterflies
*by P***N on July 14, 2025*

I feel these were on the more expensive side but all but one caterpillar made it all the way through to butterflies we could release, Order early in the season, last year I ordered too late and the caterpillars were full grown already and went into crystallis with a day of getting them. This year I ordered earlier, the caterpillars were so tiny and we got to watch the grow. Make sure to put them in something with a waterproof bottom, it gets a little messy when the butterflies come out of their crystallis. Beautiful butterflies, easy to use!

### ⭐ 4/5 of out caterpillars died!
*by E***Y on May 2, 2025*

I will never buy a cup of caterpillars through Amazon again. We have done this every year with my kids and have always ordered from the Insect Lore website, but this time I used Amazon because we wanted the cup quicker to show some friends who were staying with us. This was a big mistake. Every other year all 5 caterpillars have become butterflies and it has been such a fun experience for out kids! This year however when we got the cup, one caterpillar was already dead on arrival. A couple days later another caterpillar that was way smaller then the others on arrival also died. Still 3 were alive and eventually started making their chrysalis. One died before it could form it's chrysalis and fell to the bottom becoming a big pile of goo. 2 of the caterpillars have formed chrysalis and we have moved them to our big net. One of the them looks normal, and one of them is black, so I don't have much hope we will have more then 1 butterfly, and that's even debatable since all of them have died. The cup smells foul now that we have taken the lid off to put in the larger net, so I am wondering if the food was diseased or something.We do this every year and did everything according to the instructions, the only thing different this year was ordering through Amazon. I guess correlation doesn't always mean causation but in this case it's making me only ever want to buy through the Insect Lore website. I'll have to look and see if we still get the guarantee buying through Amazon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We look forward to this every year
*by K***K on July 18, 2025*

I rebuy these every year for my kids. We love watching them grow! Every single one grew into a butterfly this year! so fun and educational. A must have in our house every spring.
