Painted Lady Butterfly Kits

A few weeks ago I bought a butterfly kit for my daughter.  A few of her friends have had them, so she really wanted one.  Plus it's a great way to teach and show her the process of metamorphosis.

I bought the Insect Lore Butterfly garden and then sent in for the caterpillars.  They arrived in the mail in less than a weeks time. 

My daughter checked the caterpillars everyday and was so excited to see them change into chrysalids.  We really wanted to keep them around as pets for a few days but my husband thought it would be better to let them go.  :(
