STEM in a Cup!
Fun for the whole family
Proudly grown in the USA
Watch them Transform in Front of Your Eyes
This set comes with 2 cups of 5 baby caterpillars. The inside of the cups include all the nutritious food that caterpillars need, so they can eat and grow until it is time to create their chrysalides (commonly referred to as cocoons). Place the cups in a safe place away from direct sunlight. The caterpillars will remain in the cups and will eat, spin silk, and grow to ten times their original size! After seven to ten days they will hang upside down and harden into chrysalides. When the caterpillars have reached the chrysalis stage, you can place the lid from the cups in the deluxe chrysalis stations.
