There are few activities as rewarding as raising butterflies. The transformation of a small caterpillar through 5 instars, followed by the pupa and finally the magnificent adult butterfly (or moth) may even seem amazing. An excellent learning and educational kit for the entire family.
A butterfly is an insect of the order Lepidoptera. Like all Lepidoptera, butterflies are notable for their unusual life cycle with a larval caterpillar stage, an inactive pupal stage, and a spectacular metamorphosis into a familiar and colorful winged adult form. The diverse patterns formed by their brightly colored wings and their erratic yet graceful flight have made raising butterflies a fairly popular and fun hobby.
Ordering Eggs and/or Larvae
Order online at www.carolina.com/world-alive. Just select your butterfly type - If you choose cabbage white you will be shipped 10-12 eggs. If you select the painted lady species you will be shipped 5 larvae (caterpillars) to raise and observe.
