Ensure the habitat is placed in a location with stable temperatures between 50-90°F (10-32°C). — Prepare the Habitat 2. Watch daily as the caterpillars eat, grow, and eventually form chrysalides (cocoons) over approximately 1-2 weeks. This stage is crucial for their transformation into butterflies. — Observe Metamorphosis 3. Once butterflies emerge (typically 5-7 days after cocooning), carefully place the included flower-shaped feeder into the habitat. Prepare nectar using the sugar packet and water, and use the dropper to moisten the sponge on the feeder. — Welcome Butterflies & Feed 4. After a few days of observation and feeding, you can release the butterflies. Use the STEM Activity Journal throughout the process to record observations, complete science activities, and learn about the butterfly life cycle. — Release and Learn ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Live Caterpillars | 10 count (approx.) | | Caterpillar Food | Included | | Nectar Sugar Packets | Included | | Recommended Age | 5+ years | | Project Duration | Approx. 3 weeks | | Ideal Temperature Range | 50-90°F (10-32°C) | | Shipping Restriction | Continental USA only | | Shelf life after opening | N/A (live organism kit) | | Reapplication math | N/A (live organism kit) | | Contraindications | Extreme temperatures outside 50-90°F range; locations outside continental USA. | | Allergens / common irritants | N/A (live organism kit) | | Brand | Insect Lore | | Model | L1048 | | Part Number | L1048 | | Size | 12 inch habitat | | Color | White, Green | | Number of Items | 1 kit | | Country of Origin | Not stated by manufacturer — US retail version, sourced from authorized US retailers | ## Attributes - **Unit count:** 1 ## Frequently asked questions ### How is this Insect Lore Butterfly Garden authentic vs the version sold in Indian stores?
