"Caterpillars arrived by mail a little more quickly than expected, and our 5-year-old daughter was thrilled. All four survived to butterfly stage and their subsequent release about 1 week later. It was a great experience for our 5-year-old and her 7-year-old sister. We look forward to another butterfly experience in the not-too-distant future!"
"Great. Easy to order on-line and fast shipping! The ladybugs are about halfway to their journey into adulthood and our child LOVES watching their changes every day."
"very good. I received my caterpillars right away, they ate and poof, they are already butterflies! Thank you, my day care children loved watching them."
"Great experience! We had 4 out of 5 develope into beautiful Painted Lady butterflies. My 5 yr old loved the learning experience. She now wants to "grow" ladybugs. I highly recommend to anyone debating on trying this kit. "
"Great, we got our caterpillars sooner than expected!"
"This is the third time we have purchased from Insect Lore and have been completely satisfied each and every time! Will definitely be ordering from them again."
"Great Experience! My kids absolutely loved it! We will definitely be doing this again in the near future.
Thanks so much!"
"Terrible. Butterfly larva arrived later than advertised and dead. It's been a week since my granddaughters got them and they are definately dead."
"The website was very easy to use. I had no problem getting the caterpillars. My kids are loving watching them grow.
"
"I made an error on my own order and they went way beyond to help me fix it! Also we had some dead caterpillars and they overnighted new ones! Excellent customer support!! We have ordered from this company 8 years in a row and will continue to do so.
"
"so far it's been great. We have had the larvee for a little while, they are now in thier cocoon"
"AS OF 6/30/12 WE HAVE SEE NO ACTIVITY WITH THE BUTTERFLY LARVAE. WHEN WE RECIEVED THEM WE WERE HAVING TEMP. OF 110 TO 113 DEGREES HERE IN YUMA, AZ AND WE DON'T USUALLY GET OUR MAIL TILL LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. I THINK IT MAY HAVE BEEN JUST WAY TO HOT OUTSIDE WHEN WE GOT THEM. YEARS AGO MY SON RECEIVED THE BUTTERFLY LARVAE AND WE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS. WILL TRY TO ORDER THE LARVAE AGAIN WHEN IT IS COOLER WEATHER HERE. "
"Our package arrived a 3 days ago. None of the caterpillars are moving, and I can only count 4, not the promised 5. The record heat here may have caused a problem, but I will have to send them back for a replacement."
"Our daughter loved receiving her special package in the mail. Each day she chose to journal about the development of her caterpillars. By day three things started to get more exciting for her. This simple project has brought our daughter much excitement. We might have to raise more once we set our butterflies free."
"All of my catapillars were dead. Not a very good experience."
