The larvae were quite tiny when they arrived (will post that picture w others next week) and what you see on the bottom of the container is their food.
The whole process took about a month or just a little more, once all of them formed a chrysalis, we transferred to the terrarium. (part 2 of this series will definitely have more of this information)
My children are currently 11, 9, and 6, and they absolutely LOVED doing this project and have decided that next year we order even more kits!
It was very exciting indeed!
I will most certainly have more posts, pictures and links on this exciting nature study!

Were they mostly in chrysalis form when they arrived? How long did the process take? Do you let them go one at a time or all at once? When do you let them go? How old are the children? What are/were there reactions to the whole process.

This is so exciting! Thank you for sharing.
