 Butterfly larvae dead Jul 28, 2010
After having to pay an extra $3 to receive the larvae, they all died within three days of receiving them. VERY disappointing to my grandchildren! If they had lived and grown to their stated potential, this would have been an excellent review.
 Butterfies are always perfect Jul 26, 2010
We've done this one several times. This time my 6 yo nephew personally requested it and I was so excited to send it to him. He is having a blast with the experience and is so happy! I love this project.
Absolutely a joy to enjoy this with my grandson. Jul 16, 2010
This was the perfect gift for my 5 year old grandson, he is a real bug guy! In a very shy voice and he's not shy, he told me it was just what he wanted. He followed the growth of the larvae and their webs every day. I got reports from him. Even with his two year old brother, all five butterflies emerged!!!! He was amazed that their wings grew and grew, but was a bit sad about letting them go. He said "Sorry" to me.
I was thrilled that it all went as described. I am waiting for him to want another batch of larvae.
Thanks so much for a wonderful, educational experience for him and me.

How Cool!!! Jul 15, 2010
This was so much fun! I gave this kit to my son and he was absolutely magnetized by this. Once you get the kit, you have to send in the form with a small s/h and, in about a week & 1/2 you get little critters (look like dark maggots) creeping and crawling around a cake of solid sand (I am aware that this does not sound good:). Then, they make their way to the top of the lid and instinctively hang upside-down by their own silk and turn into this weird shell-like creatures. Then, they pop out and become beautiful butterflies that you can release.
I think I had as much fun with this than my children did.
Of course, the habitat can be reused and all you need are the larvae (inexpensive).
Have fun (hope I didn't gross you all out...but, hey...that's nature:)

 Fun product Jul 14, 2010
I ordered this for my six year old, and she loved it as well as learning a lot about the cycle of life for these butterflies. The different steps along the way are very educational, and the reward is live butterflies for a few weeks. Since we have a garden, we fed them strawberries, then gave them a slice of banana every now and then, they seemed to thrive. Now the child has a net basket cage to catch lightning bugs!
