Chrys-A-Lid® Holding Log

Transferring your chrysalises to the habitat is easy with our EXCLUSIVE Chrys-A-Lid® System! This child-friendly process is secure, easy, and reduces the risk of a fallen chrysalis. PLUS, no pins or pinning required! Your lid sits snugly in the specially designed holder which allows your butterflies to emerge safely in their habitat and stretch and dry their wings!

Easy to Use

  • The perfect resting place for the chrysalis stage
  • Fast and easy to set up
  • Reusable and recyclable

Step by Step

After three days of hardening, your insects are ready to move to the butterfly habitat, simply:

  • Take the lid off the cup.
  • Remove any silk and frass surrounding the chrysalides.
  • Insert the lid (with the chrysalides attached) into the slot.
  • Place the Chrys-A-Lid™ Holding Log on the floor of the habitat and wait for your beautiful butterflies to emerge!

Absolutely amazing and so much

Absolutely amazing and so much fun for my grandsons they’ve loved it having them twice butterflies twice and they simply enjoyed it especially my four year-old grandson. I am definitely going to be ordering some more caterpillars, but I probably have to order another one of them nets because it was there was so much gunk on it after having so many butterflies hatch in it we didn’t have any choice but to throw it away as it was just really yucky, but again it was simply amazing.

Love the idea, but it didn't work with the caterpillar cups we had. I used a lot of tape to get them situated.

Although the holding log is

Although the holding log is probably a 5 star rating, I just wanted to share that of the 5 caterpillars only 1 was not disabled and could actually fly away;
1 never turned into a butterfly at all and 3 other had deformed wings.
so sad that for what I paid for there was only 1 healthy butterfly

Great project for my Granddaughter’s

Great project for my Granddaughter’s 1st grade class. Only issue I had was figuring out when to ship - it would have been helpful to have a calendar that would help you calculate the days. By using the methods described I was several days off from my I tended day to begin.

This little log does a big job! It held the chrysalis cups upright like a pro, giving our butterflies the perfect launchpad to emerge in style. Simple, sturdy, and exactly what we needed — 10/10 would recommend for a smooth metamorphosis. :bug::arrow_right::butterfly:
