"I am very pleased with Insect Lore! This year I not only ordered again for my daughter, but I also ordered two more for her friends as Birthday Presents. My daughter and her friends are fascinated by insects and this was a great learning activity. Just last night we released all five of our butterflies as they were ready to take on the world! "
"My painted ladies arrived safe and sound. Thanks!"
"Great. Shipment was received within days of ordering. I have used Insect Lore for several years and have always been very satisfied with their service."
"We did receive our insect lore package. There were 5 caterpillars but only 3 of them
Have had any movement or changes. The other 2 have not moved or changed a bit.
I don't think they survived the shipment.
Thanks,
Holli McDonald

"It was great! When the caterpillars arrived I was afraid they might be dead but they all perked up and we were fortunate enough to watch their transformation into butterflies! Love it and will definitely purchase from again!"
"OUR LITTLE CRITTERS ARRIVED IN GOOD TIME AND IN GREAT SHAPE. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CACOON STAGE AND THE RELEASE SOON."
"This is our second group of ladybug larvae we have received. We have been very happy both times. Ladybugs arrived very healthy and didn't dissappoint. If we had never got the larvae, we would have never guessed what we have seen around our yard is actually ladybugs! Very educational and we all loved watching them change. Would highly recommend!!"
"We have been very satisfied with Insect Lore in the past and have never had any problems.
My daughter was excited to receive a new butterfly house this spring but I was sad because the caterpillars were not from Insect Lore. nevertheless we tried to order from the other place...twice we received orders but the caterpillars were not alive.
So I ordered from Insect Lore because she was really looking forward to butterflies! We have 5 who are all thriving and will be moving to their habitat this evening. We are looking forward to their emerging and many more fun projects from Insect Lore in the future!
Thanks! And an accidental bonus is...it looks like we will have Butterfly birthdays to celebrate on my daughters 10th birthday! :) "
"We were thrilled with Insect Lore. We received the live caterpillars in the mail in a few days.
Then they ate the food just like the instructions said.
3 of them made chrysalids then the other 2 followed a day later.
Moving them top the Butterfly Garden was nerve wracking because they vibrated and shook with their defense mechanism but they stayed attached to the paper disk. Phew!
Today 3 Painted Lady butterflies have hatched! We expect the other 2 soon.
This was a birthday gift for my 9 year old daughter and its been a fun adventure.
Thank you!"
"We enjoyed receiving the caterpillars, although one of them arrived dead, which was disappointing to my daughter."
"We ordered our caterpillars online and they arrived in 5 days. There are five caterpillars in the jar and they are just starting to dangle upside down. They dont do much but my son checks them 20 times a day and loves watching them get fat! Cant wait for them to change into a chrysalis and put them in their pavilion. "
"Container arrived three days ago in 104 heat. Only one moving. Fear all others are dead."
"Excellent -experience.
I am a repeat customer of Insect Lore and plan my purchases arount visits from my granddaughter from Florida here in Rhode Island.
We live on a private large forest environment where the "critters, butterflies" thrive when released.
Thank you, again, Insect Lore !

"So far, so good! Record high temps in the area so hopefully all survived."
"I love Insect Lore. I am a teacher and grandmother and I am always ordering great learning experiences from them. The Easter bunny brought my granddaughter the butterfly kit this year. We just sent away for the caterpillars and they were here in less than a week."
