Note: There is a $3.00 shipping and handling charge for caterpillars and food. Caterpillars can only be shipped within the Continental USA. They cannot be shipped to Hawaii, Mexico, or Canada<br />Mail-in butterfly coupon/envelope included to send away for 3 to 5 butterfly larvae <br /><br />BUT once Woot sells out, it's all over!

They are 5 & 7. <br /><br />They loved watching the metamorphosis and setting the butterflies free a few days after they emerged. This is a fun and educational gift for any young girl or boy.<br /><br />I am thinking of ordering more larvae this Christmas, since they already have the habitat.<br /><br />To the person who was wondering if you can store it, I'm pretty sure that ALL of these habitats come with a card you send in to get the larvae when you are ready for them. Once you send for the larvae, you should be ready to hatch them, but you can store the gift for as long as you want beforehand. I didn't send for the larvae until a couple of weeks after Christmas so it wouldn't be too cold when they hatched to release them (we live in Florida).Kristanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90368481587066337.post-7684788125348361282009-10-07T19:16:54.791-05:002009-10-07T19:16:54.791-05:00I got this for my 6 year old last Christmas and as...I got this for my 6 year old last Christmas and as a family we loved it. One thing you may want to keep in mind is that you do have to pay an additional fee when you send off for your larvae, I think around $5.00.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659410150626722103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90368481587066337.post-12829397113961734932009-10-07T18:48:34.400-05:002009-10-07T18:48:34.400-05:00These are fun for the whole family.
