The Insect Lore Butterfly Garden with 10 Live Baby Caterpillars is an educational life-science kit designed for observing the transformation of Painted Lady caterpillars into adult butterflies.

The kit includes ten baby caterpillars, a reusable 12-inch mesh habitat, a chrysalis station, a flower-shaped butterfly feeder, sugar packets, a feeding dropper, instructional material, and a STEM butterfly journal. Children can observe the caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly stages before releasing the adult butterflies.
