We got Maggie and Insect Lore butterfly habitat for her birthday. You send in the form to order caterpillars. We got five caterpillars in the mail about a week later. They come in a special container that has the food they need. They were TINY! But they almost double in size each day. It was crazy to watch them grow so fast. Then they made their chysalis on a paper at the top of the container. After they do that you move them into the butterfly habitat. About a week later they butterflies emerge. It was very cool. We kept them for a few days. There were instructions on how to feed them. Then we let them go. It was pretty remarkable. I think we will have to do it again.
