I would love to get my girls the butterfly house, but living in MN I don’t think our butterflies would survive the winter after we let them go.
WiJoyMom says:
I don’t think they would ship you the caterpillars during the winter, as they wouldn’t survive the cold during shipment.
We live in WI. There was a butterfly habit a few months ago, by a different brand & they keep the cold weather in mind & won’t allow them to be shipped during certain months to cold areas.
An Amazon review said there was an additional cost for the caterpillars.
I did a little checking for a contact #. The company Spinmaster, who makes this can be reached at, 1-800-622-8339 with any ?s
Here is what that company told me today. With the kit comes a coupon, for purchasing the caterpillars (at a discount) from a partner company, Insect Lore, 1st set is $6 for 5 caterpillars and additional sets of caterpillars are possible cost more.
The caterpillars are painted ladies.

I bought similar kits that you don’t have to pay for the caterpillars at all.

Oh wow, been wanting to get that butterfly house for long time! I’ll save it for her birthday
Jane says:
we raise monarch butterflies. I am part of a conservation group and release over 100 last year. I find eggs and caterpillars on milkweed (their only food source) and keep fresh milkweed in the enclosure and release them when they turn into butterflies. So, dont need to order then, grow some milkweed and start looking in the spring!

Bummer!! I just bought the butterfly habitat for my little boy for Christmas last week for $15!!! I read reviews and people have gotten the larvae shipped in the winter and they did just fine, but releasing the butterflies in the winter might be a different story. You could always wait until spring to mail in your coupon for the catepillars

Bought the corn popper! Think I’ll save it for her 1st birthday in a few months.
Thanks!

Just wanted to add that the Ladybug game is not very good. We got it last year for Christmas and my kids don’t like it. They are 3, 5, and 7, and on family game night I always bring it out as an option and they never, ever choose it.

thanks Rob I was planning on get the ladybug game but now I’ll think twice about it.

I have to agree…the lady bug game is kinda a doosie. My kids 6, 4 and 2 are interested until the game starts, then they loose interest REALLY fast.

I am loving that my Bugmaster thingy is already shipped, and I just ordered a few hours ago. I am SO going to miss my free Amazon Prime when it expires!

Similar kits that i’ve seen, that don’t charge for the caterpillars, retail between $14 and $25. It’s only a better deal if you can get the other kits for this price too.
Painted ladies are my son’s favorite butterfly (he wants to be an entomologist when he grows up) — this deal works perfectly for our family. Thanks Hip!
