The magical process from Caterpillar to Butterfly

Growing Painted Lady butterflies is a fascinating experience you can witness up close:

1. Growth Phase: The caterpillars arrive in a breeding pot with enough specially formulated food. You don't need to pick any leaves yourself; the caterpillars eat directly from the provided food and grow very quickly.
2. Pupation: Once the caterpillars are fully grown, they climb up, hang upside down, and spin a protective, crystal-like cocoon (chrysalis).
3. Emergence: After a period of rest, the caterpillars emerge as breathtakingly beautiful Painted Lady butterflies! After a few days of observation and feeding with sugar water or fruit, you can release them into the wild.

After placing your order, we immediately request the caterpillars from our specialized breeder. The caterpillars are carefully packaged and sent directly to your address (average delivery time 1 to 2 weeks). We aim to deliver 5 healthy caterpillars, with a guarantee of **at least 3 healthy emerging butterflies**.
