Vanessa cardui. Five larvae shipped in a clear,
8-oz rearing chamber with food. Larvae pupate and emerge as adults in
about 30 days. At least 3 out of 5 larvae are guaranteed to emerge as
healthy adult butterflies. With instructions.
After the adults emerge, try breeding them. All you need is the proper
host plant for the adults to lay eggs on. The Mallow Plant is the painted
lady's natural host. Once your new generation of caterpillars hatch, they
will be hungry, and the mallow plant is the perfect source of food for
them.

Address Multiple Life Science Topics
Painted lady butterflies are appropriate for all grade levels but
especially effective for grades K-8. They enable students to observe
complete metamorphosis, from caterpillar to chrysalis to adult butterfly.
Students can then compare the butterfly life cycle to that of other
animals or investigate how temperature affects insect development time.
General life scence topics can be addressed as well, including how form
fits function and what organisms need to survive.
