Butterfly Habitats

Grow real butterflies!

The Butterfly Pavilion features ten Painted Lady butterflies soaring to new heights in an attractive, mesh enclosure, where you can watch your caterpillars turn into beautiful Painted Lady butterflies.

Nature's on the wing. See what develops. Witness the miracle of metamorphosis, nature's way of saying, "Hey, grow up!" First, watch your caterpillars eat their special food. You'll be amazed at how fast they grow. Next, see them hang upside down and shed their skins to form chrysalides (CHRYS-A-LIDS). Finally, discover how they complete their metamorphosis by emerging as beautiful adult butterflies.

Watch caterpillars morph into beautiful butterflies!

Witness one of nature's most amazing transformations as crawling caterpillars turn into dangling chrysalides and then before your very eyes, emerge to become adult Painted Lady Butterflies. You'll observe them in a colorful 3-D jungle environment and discover the mysterious Lost Temple of the Golden Butterfly.

The butterfly habitat comes with a Caterpillar Order Form. It states that you can get 3-5 Painted Lady caterpillars with special food to stock your butterfly habitat.

Watch you butterflies grow, then let them go!

Beautiful, airy butterfly habitat. Children watch and learn as their tiny caterpillars turn into beautiful painted lady butterflies.

It's the magic of metamorphosis. First your caterpillars will eat their own food and grow to ten times their original size. Next, they'll hang upside-down and shed their skins to form chrysalides. Finally, you will see them emerge as beautiful butterflies.

Complete care and instruction guide bursting with fascinating butterfly facts. Includes certificate for 5 caterpillars that are delivered to your doorstep.

Raise a butterfly for each of your students!

This popular project is designed especially for classrooms; the Pavilion habitat hangs so everyone in the class can see the butterflies within (but is also safely out-of-reach of sometimes too-enthusiastic hands).
