Grown in the USA on our family-run farm since 1969, this kit arrives with 10 live Painted Lady caterpillars and everything you need to observe the natural process up close.

What’s included

  • Ten live Painted Lady caterpillars with their food and complete supplies
  • A reusable Ultra-Clear dome habitat for easy viewing
  • Two Chrys-A-Lid holding logs to keep the setup tidy

  • Caterpillar Instruction Guide and a feeding dropper

How the experience comes to life

Watch caterpillars munch, form cocoons, and emerge as butterflies within a three-week window. The Ultra-Clear habitat lets every movement and color be seen from multiple angles, while the Chrys-A-Lid keeps handling neat and simple. The built-in learning panel supports curiosity with easy-to-follow visuals.

  • Hands-on science that fits kitchen-table or classroom corners
  • Encourages curiosity, responsibility, and a love for life cycles
  • Designed for simple cleanup and repeated use in future projects

Practical notes to get started

Caterpillars are grown on our California farm and shipped with careful handling.
