Gave this as a gift to a couple of older people. They seemed to like it. Gave them something to do and was fun and different than the usual gifts.

Three generations loved watching the butterflies grow and eventually fly away. We will do it again.

Bought this for my six year old neice and wow was it a hit!! All of the caterpillars survived and changed into butterflies. The instructions were educational and easy to understand. She was fascinated watching them change over the few weeks. I received daily calls from her with updates on their progress. She even told her teacher and now they're ordering a kit for her class. Today is release day and she is so excited. Definitely worth the price.

One cup had four caterpillars and the other six so we had ten total. Two were far smaller than the others but fortunately all ten became butterflies. The last two came out of their chrysalides about a week after the others did. The booklet said the butterflies will emerge after 7-10 days and to wait 3 days for the chrysalides to harden before transfer. That time table was way off! We had caterpillars form chrysalides 1-2 days after the other ones so figured we were safe to transfer at what would be day 5 for the earlier chrysalides. The next morning the butterflies had emerged while still in the cup! We had to quickly transfer them to the habitat, fortunately all survived. The release was fun, my daughter put her hand into the habitat to help them out and some crawled onto her hand before flying off. They stayed in the area for a while before disappearing into the wild. We still have the last two butterflies which we will release soon.
