Review: All my butterflies hatched! - All my butterflies hatched from their chrysalis’s. About thirty or so. There were about six extra caterpillars included with the package so i as to put two caterpillars per cup in a few cups. Just a few caterpillars died and don’t seem to grow. Some of the chrysalis’s fell from the cup lid into the feed and poop on the bottom. In this case I read on a different website that it is crucial to remove them and place on a dry surface or the chrysalis will die. It is unclear whether or not you should punch some breathing holes in the plastic cups. Since the cups are so tiny and the caterpillars get so big inside them I did pigs few holes in each cup with a needle. It would be good if the instructions clarify this as it took quite a bit of work. It took longer for my caterpillars to turn into chrysalis than ten days. I think this may be because of the cold weather. Low to mid sixties. Bear in mind that you will have to hand scoop food and caterpillar into individual plastic cups as they cup contained all in one cup. All cups are supplied by the company .
Review: Disappointed students - I actually received more than 60 caterpillars which I thought was great considering the other reviewers that mentioned receiving far less. The problem is that, even after receiving that many, only 16 survived to the chrysalis stage. Of the 16 chrysalides, 7 turned black and rotted within a couple days. 4 butterflies came out today, 3 of which didn't survive. I don't know if there wasn't enough food perhaps but hardly any of the caterpillars that were put in the small cups survived. Some were left in the large cup that came with the kit and I had better luck with those. I live in San Diego and they were kept in a temperature-controlled environment. I have always had luck with Insect Lore in the past 10 years of teaching the butterfly life cycle, I guess I will have to go back to them. I am a first grade teacher, also growing monarchs and gulf fritillary caterpillars in my classroom for comparison. The other species are thriving. My students are so disappointed!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product and amazing customer support.
*by A***R on June 20, 2025*

We ordered these to raise with our kids. We had bad luck with our first batch. Most of them ended up dying. I reached out to the company and they sent me another set by 2 day express ups. They were very nice people too. Even though the first ones died I'd still recommend these butterflies. Like I said it was just a bit of bad luck and their customer service was beyond fantastic. Just dealing with nice, understanding people makes these worth ordering.
