I got my Insect Lore Butterfly kit in today, and just sent off an order for the caterpillars. I remember in 2nd grade we raised some caterpillars that turned into Painted Ladies, so I'm very sure this is the very same kit the teacher got!
Well I'm excited that's for sure! The caterpillars will come in 1-3 weeks cuz the company has to hatch the eggs and stuff. Hopefully by the time I get them into butterfly mode my container plants would be fully grown and they can hang around for a while after I release them. I'll be sure to post pics once I get them!
Has anybody else raised caterpillars? I think the two most common caterpillars to raise are painted lady and monarch caterpillars. I hope to raise some Monarchs next year when I get some Milkweed going.
