For Maia’s birthday we received 10 caterpillars in the mail along with a habitat for “birth” and life cycle. It was a really fun project! We checked on our critters everyday and, lucky for us, all 10 became Painted Lady butterflies. After a few days, we set them free in our backyard.
This last butterfly had a bum wing 
We put him on a flower and hope for the best.
Doesn’t this one look mean? This photo totally intimidates me.
I highly recommend this to anyone with a 3+ year old. The excitement level was high throughout the three weeks we did this and I think Maia learned some too. You can order your own at www.insectlore.com!
Looks like fun!
