"So far, it's great. The caterpillars came and started moving within a few minutes--they are all alive and well. I was grateful for the very specific instructions and we are having a great time with them. I only wish I could take them out and let them crawl all over.
Thank you."
"Ours are still caterpillars, but looking forward to butterflies. The only negative I would say is that you purchase the kit, and then have to pay another $5 for the insects... should all be included in the purchase price, even if that means you need to increase the purchase price a bit...

"The catepillers arrived in our mailbox - at first we thought they were dead, but then all 5 were moving and eating, couple of days later they started their metamorphosis - it appears ONE died while forming the cyrsallys. 4/5 alive isn't bad considering we live in Florida and I bet our mail delivery was very rough, I mean a couple of them were buried in the food! My son is very excited about these & we hope to have butterflies shortly!"
"I have had no problems ordering and have always gotten good caterpillars."
"What a great way to spend time with your little one! Very inexpensive way to learn about another animal. Our 5 year old was in awe. It was a wonderful process--alot of communication! We thank Insect Lore for helping us learn as a family about the life cycle of the butterfly. "
"The Ladybug Larvae has been here for over a week and nothing is happening. The information that came with them said they would change quickly. How long should we wait?"
"We've gotten the butterfly habitat and most recently the ladybug land. Both are excellent products and my daughter loves them. I would definitely recommend."
"As of date, I cannot say whether I received and services. The insects died during delivery. Presumbly too hot to do so, so the person with Insect Lore sent a voucher to use in September when it cools. Hopefully, its a better experience. Our family enjoy animals."
"the only thing we didn't like is that we had to order the Caterpillars separate."
"My three and five year old boys are really enjoying their larvae! They are observing and learning each day. Everything came on time and all five caterpillars have formed their cacoons."
"Our butterfly larvae arrived in a short while, however there were only four and one was already dead. My grand kids were disappointed. They have started their pupa stage so I wasn't able to send them back."
"Great!! Our package actually arrives a lot earlier than we expected. My children were so excited. Thanks for way to follow instructions. We are waiting to step 2. Our caterpillars ahave all climbed the to the top. Thanks again. We are having a blast with this fun familt project.
"
"It was great, the caterpillars can in a box and inside the box was a covered jar with 5. They are eating and moving around. I can't wait to see them attached themselves to the cover and then their transformation."
"My gramddaughterwas thrilled with the butterflies and the product was just as you said it was. I will be doing this again."
"I have been very pleased with insect lore. I bought it for my grandaughter but I equally enjoyed the experience of watching the ladybug larvae transform into full grown ladybugs. Ladybugs are very beneficial in gardens as they eat the bad bugs so it was an extra bonus for me because I dont like to use pesticides. We kept the ladybug land and ordered refills. One word of caution, they ship quickly so you must keep an eye out for the mail. Our over all experience has been very good and I would recommend insect lore to everyone. Its a good learning experience and good for the environment. We are considering getting the butterflys next. "
