I would recommend getting the lid holder log too. I did not and the butterflies emerged inside the little cups. It was cramped. ### ⭐⭐ 6/10 caterpillars did not survive *by on Reviewed in the United States 27 April 2026* 6 out of 10 caterpillars did not survive and it's been a week and have not received confirmation of replacement from the company via email and could not get a hold of customer service via phone. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to get *by on Reviewed in the United States 27 April 2026* Nice ## Frequently Bought Together - Insect Lore 2 Cups of Caterpillars Basic | 10 Live Baby Painted Lady Caterpillars | Refill for Habitat Kit | Caterpillars and Food Included - Insect Lore Butterfly Garden Kit, Painted Lady Butterfly Kit with Voucher for Live Caterpillars, Butterfly Habitat, STEM Journal & More - Insect Lore Butterfly Garden | 10 Live Baby Caterpillars | Habitat, Feeder, Chrys-A-Lid Logs, STEM Journal Included | Raise and Release Painted Lady Butterflies --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/740969674-2-cups-of-caterpillars-basic-10-live-baby-painted-lady](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/740969674-2-cups-of-caterpillars-basic-10-live-baby-painted-lady) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
