"My girls (6, 3 and 2) recieved our caterpillars within a week of ordering online. All were alive and fun to watch. We were blessed with a 'late bloomer' who just didnt want to stop eating. He took another 2 days before deciding to 'hang out' with everyone else. While all the paperwork said that it would be another 7+ days, within another four we had our 1st butterfly. We missed seeing each of the 'girls hatch', as they all picked naptime or durring sleep to hatch- but we loved feeding them. A few days later, we let them fly out of thier enclosure- which the girls absolutely loved!
The whole experience was entertaining, educational and worthwhile! We are lookiing at doing lady bugs next!

"This was my 3rd time ordering & as with the other two orders, my packages arrived as scheduled. I plan in placing future orders with insect lore."

"my daughter loves it they have not turned into anything yet but she is still very excited and all of them were alive :D"

"Insect Lore is awesome! I called their customer service when I needed help with ordering and they walked me through step by step. We received our butterfly larvae within a few days! Great customer service and fast delivery the two most important things I value as a customer. Job well done!"

"FANTASTIC, OUTSTANDING,STUPENDOUS!!!"

"Ordering was simple and easy. The caterpillars arrived quickly. The only thing we were disappointed in was only 2 turned into a cocoon and one into a butterfly. It just emerged today from the cocoon! We have been watching it all day and have the bottom filled with fresh flowers.

Hoping to call tomorrow and see if we are able to get the replacement the papers say we can get.

**Edited to add after Insect Lore response- It was a crazy hot day they arrived. I was surprised they shipped so quickly due to the hot weather. It had been very humid and over 100 all week. We have still enjoyed the one that hatched and I'm looking forward to trying another set. Thanks for the response Insect Lore!"

"The order process was easy but we have not received the order yet. When will that be?"

"We have recieved larvae in a week. They grew up very quickly. They are very cute. My daughter loved them. Its very exciting to observe a metmorphosis. I recommend this product for kids to learn about nature. "

"Easy to order and fast dilivery!"

"Great products my kids love getting close to nature and sharing this fun with their friends so insect lore was the perfect place to shop for a birthday present, it came on time and the recipient loved it!"

"Not sure how I feel about the Insect Lore as of yet.
Just recieved my caterpillers today. Shipping took longer than the 3 days orginally quoted.

Watching to make sure that the caterpillers are well.
Too early to tell."

"We have not received our insects yet. I found that the website was very helpful and I appreciated the delivery on a selected date. This is the option we have picked and hope that it will come quickly this week."

"My granddaughter was so excited to be able to take care of and watch the different stages of the butterflies. She was thrilled when she let them go near her butterfly garden she grew.
The service was top notch. All 5 of her caterpillars turned into butterflies. It was a great learning experience for her."

"Easy to order, very quick shipping, and a wonderful experience all around. Fun, educational, and enjoyable for the entire family. I'm very satisfied and I will definitely order again in the future!"

"Not great. Insects were dead. Very unhappy child now :("
