Follow-Up Order Butterfly Caterpillars, a total of 5

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 plus comprehensive materials (worksheets, breeding net etc.) Breeding butterflies – so simple!

We offer an ordering set for the caterpillars to enable you to marvel at the beauty of the painted lady butterflies all over again or start a new project with your next group.

The caterpillar re-order set contains:

• 5 caterpillars
• sufficient food
• breeding container for the caterpillars until they pupate
• detailed instructions
• 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 by telephone, email, fax, in writing or via our shop. Remember to specify when you want to receive your set.

Note: we always ship the caterpillars at the beginning of the week, otherwise they would be in transportation for an unnecessarily long period over the weekend. Consequently, butterfly deliveries are usually received in the course of the week.

In terms of your planning, please remember: once you have received your caterpillars, it takes about 1-2 weeks for them to pupate. 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.
