Caterpillar Gift Voucher

Hagemann video tutorial: observe the painted lady - from caterpillar to butterfly
Experience the amazing development of a caterpillar into a butterfly! Our practical breeding sets include caterpillars bred in Germany as well as comprehensive materials (worksheets, breeding net etc.) Breeding butterflies - so simple!

We offer a caterpillar gift set, so you can marvel at the beauty of the painted lady all over again or start a new project with your next group.

The caterpillar re-order gift set contains:

• 1 voucher for 5 caterpillars and sufficient food plus breeding container for the caterpillars until they pupate.
• detailed instructions
• butterfly food, approx. 5 g
• copy templates (differentiated for nursery and school)

The teaching materials contain lots of valuable ideas for environmentally friendly, climate-aware behaviour and to educate children about sustainable development. These ideas are flagged with the "We are protecting our earth symbol" and can be quickly identified.

How do I order my caterpillars?
Order your caterpillars postage-free with the voucher by using the voucher code printed on it at the link specified. Remember to specify when you want to receive your caterpillars. You can give a desired date between March and October.

Note: we always ship the caterpillars ath the beginning of  the week, otherwise they would be in transportation for an unnecessarily long period over the weekend. Consequently, caterpillar deliveries are usually made from the middle of the requested calendar week. You can redeem the voucher at any time of the year, however, the larvae will only be sent from mid-March to early October (depending on weather conditions).

In terms of your planning, please remember: once you have received your caterpillars, it takes about 1-2 weeks for them to pupate. You can give a desired date between March and October. About 1-2 weeks later the butterflies will emerge. At 24°C, the entire development process into a butterfly takes about 3 weeks. If it is cooler, this can take up to 5 weeks.

Not a toy!
