The Original Butterfly Garden - with twice the caterpillars! Choose this kit if you would like to raise 10 caterpillars instead of 5.

The Live Butterfly Garden offers children the invaluable lessons of metamorphosis, science, patterns, patience, and life cycle studies. Give the Magic of Metamorphosis to a child you love.

Insect Lore provides two options when you order the Live Butterfly Garden. Order your Live Butterfly Garden with Cup of Caterpillars NOW, or order your Live Butterfly Garden with Certificate, which allows you to redeem your Cup of Caterpillars LATER.

"Shipped with Live Caterpillars NOW" is usually the best choice. You'll save valuable time and you will receive everything you need in one convenient, exciting package.

"With Certificate for Caterpillars LATER" is a good option only if you are not sure when you will be ready to receive and raise your butterfly larvae. This option includes an additional cost for shipping and handling the larvae later.
