Spring 2026 preorders are now closed. Check back next year!

Have you ever wondered at the beauty and majesty of a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis? Now you can watch the cycle in your own home! Watch as the butterfly larvae grow through their stages to full-grown butterflies. 

Each Butterfly Kit includes clear instructions, feeding information, nutrient diet, and larvae in a caterpillar cup. Live Painted Lady Butterflies are a great spring project!

Two kit sizes were available to preorder:

Expanded Rearing Kit (8-10 larvae)

Classroom Kit (25-30 larvae)

Check out our Butterfly Flight Cage (sold separately) if you are looking for a home to keep your butterflies or other nature projects.

Butterflies are not eligible for promo codes.

Butterfiles are special order items. No returns, cancellations, or refunds. Caterpillars are live specimens and survival rates will vary. Please read item descriptions carefully for further ordering instructions.
