"We received the butterfly larve on Thursday. My 6year old grand daughter was delighted, while my 12 year old grand son tried to appear uninterested.
Less than a week later the caterpillars are one and half inches long and are beginning to hang. My uninterested grand son is keeping track on the rate of growth, while my grand daughter is ecstatic about the prospect.
By the way all 9 caterpillars made it to Arizona fine.
Wonderful product, incredible experience.
Many thanks!"
"Thanks for the quick delivery. My kids love watching the caterpillars turn into butterflies!!!"
"Awesome. Customer service was very helpful when we had a few questions about our preying mantis egg case... love the kits."
"My experience with InsectLore was fantastic. We purchased the kit at a local store, ordered the caterpillars a few months later when we knew it would be warm enough out to release the butterflies, and 2 weeks later we have butterflies emerging. The larvae/caterpillar stage was much easier than I expected. It comes in a jar with food in it. If you are at all squimish about insects, not to worry. You just place the jar inside your enclosure and wait for the caterpillars to move into their cocoons. They are not moving when you pin the disk onto the side of the enclosure. We were home the day the butterflies emerged. It was a great experience for my 5 and 4 year olds."
"Site could have easier to navigate.
I was looking for the caterpillars for my new butterfly kit. Had to look around the site a bit to find them.
That being said, I received the caterpillars today and the kids are excited and thrilled.
We received 5 caterpillars all alive (as far as I can tell!), with clear and detailed instructions on care and feeding.
We're looking forward to watching beautiful butterflies grow!"
"Initially with reordering, shipping and timeframe is great. With first experience on mantis's we'll see how that goes! Thanks"
"We received our order on 5/29 and the caterpillars were alive and in good shape. Thank you very much!"
"Great experience. Order online was easy and the insects arrived quickly. Can't wait to watch them grow!"
"Our experience was good. They arrived safely and hatched into 5 butterflies! The only thing I would change is put the address label on the top of the box. Our mail carrier flipped the box over so we would see who the package was for and I was afraid they would damage the caterpillars."
"I was very pleased to recieve my ladybug larvae in the mail in a very timely manner. And putting them into the prepurchased LadyBug Land was as easy as the pamphlet said it would be."
"WOW!!! This is a great idea! I love it! My daughter is 2 and our neighbor is 8. She comes over everyday to see it. It's good for a large age range. We've only had them for a few days and they have already doubled their size. Look forward to seeing them change. Thanks!!!"
"The larvae arrived on time and my son is really enjoying the process!"
"I received my 5 caterpillars when they were requested.They are thriving."
"My order came on time and all of my caterpillars are in their transitional stage. Me and my boys are waiting to see our butterflies emerge!"
"Very fast and convenient service."
