The Live Painted Lady Butterfly Expanded Rearing Kit is the perfect kit for large groups or classrooms, or if you are looking to share your kit with some friends. The Classroom Kit includes 25-30 larvae, and will require you to separate the larvae into individual containers (included).

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. These kits are a wonderful spring project!

Our Butterfly Expanded Rearing Kit includes:

  • Clear Instructions
  • 25-30 larvae in a Caterpillar Cup
  • Individual rearing vials
  • Nutrient Diet
  • Paintbrushes for safe handling
  • Adult Feeding vial

Did you know Painted Lady Butterflies are found on every continent except Antarctica and are virtually as widespread as the Cabbage White - and all of this without human assistance? They are common throughout Canada. The upper surface is orange, black and white, with a wingspan of 50 - 60 mm.

Larvae do not come with a flight cage to house adult butterflies. You will need a larger container for your chrysalis to emerge. You can make your own with from a cardboard box or a mesh laundry hamper. Or you can purchase a Butterfly Flight Cage.

The whole project takes about a month:

  • 1 - 3 weeks as a caterpillar
  • About 1 week as a chrysalis
  • Your butterfly emerges.
  • Release your butterflies after 5-7 days.
