Description
You are able to add and build a kit that has everything you need to raise these marvelous creatures minus the net cage (with the option of adding the cage if needed). Our easy-to-follow instructions make it simple to experience their metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly. The entire process typically takes around two weeks from the moment your kit arrives, with timing subject to variations based on your local climate conditions.
These kits are designed for every environment, whether at home, school, retirement home, community center, or otherwise. The kits also make incredible gifts for burgeoning enthusiasts, teaching lessons about life-cycles, transformation, and growth…often a child’s first experience nurturing the development of a wild creature in a time where there is more focus on screens rather than what’s all around us.
The Caterpillar – Build A Painted Lady Raising Kit includes:
-
- Complete diet protocol for nurturing caterpillars into butterflies in each cup. With the option of either large cups housing 5 caterpillars each or 1 caterpillar in a small individual cup. (The quantity of caterpillars will vary based on your selection with the minimum order of 10 caterpillars)
- A special note from the MonarchButterflies.ca team
- Basic instructions with a QR code for comprehensive instructions, including video demonstrations always accessible on our online blog.
- An Native Poem to be read at the time of the butterfly release
