Experience the wonder of butterfly metamorphosis. Over the course of three weeks, observe and learn as five tiny caterpillars eat and grow, transform into chrysalides, and then emerge as beautiful Painted Lady butterflies. Feed and enjoy your butterflies for a few days, then let them go to pollinate our precious world. When you're ready to start, simply claim your live caterpillars online. This item ships flat but pops up to create a hanging or table-sitting habitat for your gentle, winged friends. Watch the Painted Lady caterpillars grow in their clear cup, and then insert your chrysalides in the Chrysalis Holding Log on the floor of the habitat and wait for your beautiful butterflies to emerge. Feed your winged friends with the included feeding dropper and feeder. Record their changes in your entomologist STEM activity journal and learn through its suggested immersive activities. A voucher to redeem at your convenience for 5 baby caterpillars and all the food they need. Pop-up, reusable, 12-inch, super-see-thru mesh habitat, STEM Butterfly Observation Journal- filled with loads of fun learning activities and a Flower-shaped Butterfly feeder and dropper.
