Painted lady butterflies are appropriate for all grade levels but are especially effective for grades K–8. They enable students to observe metamorphosis, from caterpillar to chrysalis to adult butterfly. Students can then compare the butterfly life cycle to those of other animals or investigate how temperature affects insect development time. General life science topics can be addressed as well, including how form fits function and what organisms need to survive.
Even if you have little or no experience teaching with live animals you will find these insects easy to use in the classroom
and rewarding for students of all ages. Our painted lady butterfly larvae provide the perfect introduction to the world of
butterflies. Larvae are shipped inside a clear, self-contained culture vessel, allowing students to observe and measure
caterpillar development.
Our Butterflies in the Classroom Kits give students the hands-on opportunity to set up a larva in its own
culture vessel. There is no food to mix; caterpillars simply eat the medium supplied in the culture vessel until they form
chrysalises. Students then hang the chrysalises in our new and improved
Carolina™ Butterfly Sanctuary and
watch for the butterflies to emerge.
Our Butterflies in the Classroom Kits come complete with everything you and your students need to raise
painted lady butterflies from larvae to adults in less than 30 days. Using our high-quality, exclusive
Carolina™ Butterfly Culture, you will get large, colorful, active butterflies.
