These kits are very easy, and perfect to watch 12 monarch caterpillars form a chrysalis.  It comes with everything you need. 12 Native Monarch Caterpillars, and NO MILKWEED REQUIRED- these larvae will be nearly fully grown, so you can watch them form their chrysalis the day or two after they arrive at your door. (you can upgrade to add a few stems of milkweed if you want to watch them feed for a day or two). You can release your 12 adult monarchs outside about 10 days later! This is the highlight of the whole experience!

Shipped orders are sent using NEXT DAY delivery for $50 to guarantee safe arrival in hot summer weather. This is the only safe shipping option, and we will guarantee safe arrival. Shipping is usually sent out Mon-Wed to avoid the risk of the order getting stuck over the weekend.

Instructions: Set up the butterfly enclosure, and place the caterpillars and optional milkweed all together on a table or counter at room temperature.
