Shipping and Care

The school package is in stock and immediately available. Please note: the package contains a coupon with which you can order caterpillars from the breeder by paying only shipping costs. This is possible from March through September.

Typically, after dispatch, you will receive approximately 3-5 fresh caterpillars and special food sent to your home.
The shipping time for the caterpillars may vary; normally, we aim to dispatch them on the same day if ordered before 4:30 PM. Should this not be possible, we will notify you. The dispatch of the caterpillars is separate from the dispatch of the breeding net. The caterpillars are shipped by our breeder from England. You request these yourself from the breeder using the coupon in the package.

Now you can really get started. Rearing butterflies is possible from March through September. The aim is to send 10 caterpillars, and the guarantee is that you will receive at least 7 and that they will grow into healthy butterflies.

First, the caterpillars eat their own food (supplied) so they can grow well. Then, they hang upside down in crystal-like spun cocoons. In the final stage, they emerge as beautiful butterflies. Observe them for a few days and then release them.

Usage

The butterfly garden is reusable, and after the butterflies have flown out, it is also a perfect enclosure for other insects such as ladybugs, praying mantises, or stick insects. The product can therefore be used multiple times to study nature more closely.
