Nature Gift Store 5 Live Caterpillars Shipped Now- Butterfly Kit Refill+Supplies

Received 14 instead of 10 and all of them are alive 2 days later! They are growing quickly so far. It’s fun to watch them grow. While it’s probably still early to leave a review, what happens moving forward is in my care. As for delivery and packaging, they arrived safely and quicker than expected :)

I have always had great success with my caterpillars, however this year 8/14 made it to butterflies. Several of the caterpillars did not make it to chrysalis form. They died attached to the top of the cups before they could transform.

My daughter and I does this every year. Every time we do the butterflys one is all ways to hurt to fly.

So perfect for kids to learn. And it is awesome to see the progress and evolution. I will buy it again for sure. Delivery was great.

This is my second time ordering from this company! Both times the order was shipped fast and the caterpillars were all alive. This purchase was made by a school PTO buying for the schools first grade classrooms and the kids love them. I highly recommend.

We've been ordering caterpillars since 2020, but usually from a different company. This year we ordered 2 cups from this seller. The caterpillars arrived ok. All seemed well until it was time to turn into the chrysalis. The caterpillars in 1 cup turned just fine, the cartepillars in the second cup clearly have had some genetic mutation going on. Two of them never turned into a chrysalis. They just hung upside down, but didn't pupate. And one of the ones that did turn into a strange looking chrysalis was born with a caterpillar head. He will likely not make it long after being released as I'm not sure it can feed. We might end up just euthanizing it just so it doesn't suffer.

I was very worried that they would arrive late (over Easter Break) and die. They arrived in time for my littles to do observations for a whole week! They are very excited.

I’m so disappointed. I received 7 caterpillars. They were already about an inch long when they arrived. 1 died within a couple of days. Some of the others never went to the top of the container to latch on to begin their transformation to the chrysalis and are lying, partially formed at the bottom of the cup. 2 latched on, but only 1 completed the chrysalis formation. I’m afraid we’ll only have 1 butterfly, so I won’t be able to do the big butterfly release with my PreK students on their last day of school. Were they sick? Was the food tainted? I’ve done this for several years for my students and never had a problem before. I would appreciate a refund.
