Insect Lore Live Ladybug Growing Kit - Land Habitat with 10-15 Live Pink Spotted Larvae for Kids - Raise, Observe and Release

We got this to grow ladybugs for our vegetable garden. My daughter wanted to plant a garden this year so we planted our seeds and got this lady bug tank that arrived a couple days later. It was perfect timing because the lady bug larvae took a couple weeks to turn into lady bugs and it gave our seeds time to sprout and get about a foot tall. Then we released the lady bugs into our garden. We got to learn about a garden and how to care for it at the same time learning about the cycle of these beetles and how they protect our garden from other pests. Was so much fun. It even came with a journal that has activities inside we were able to do together. Now we have our lady bug land and can clean it out and get larvae and repeat the process. We received 15 larvae and all 15 turned to lady bugs. Definitely recommend. My kids loved it and I did too.

This was our first time purchasing the ladybug land with live ladybug larva and we will 100% be repeat customers! We didn’t have success with caterpillars last year but these ladybugs were a different story. The whole process is so easy, just open the lid, pour in the contents of the tube included, use the included dropper to and water and just watch and wait! We had 10 of 10 larvae become adult ladybugs! The paper resources that come with the kit were also so helpful and perfect for my kindergarteners.

This was so fun to do as a unit study with my kids for school as we are a homeschooling family. It was easy to assemble, functioned as it should and the education it brought as a hands on tool so exciting. It was so beautiful to watch how the lady bugs grew and to release them when it was time. It is very well made very durable and worth the money

My small children do the butterfly kits from this company every year and we love them. This year we wanted to try the ladybugs. Unfortunately, it's not going well. Larvae arrived in great shape but before pupating the food began to run out. We followed all of the directions but lost ALL of our ladybugs, except one, shortly into their pupal stage. My daughter was distraught and we opted to release our single survivor to the yard before it'd fully matured. We feel like awful ladybug serial killers after this experience! Definitely proceed with caution

This was a fun project. I originally was worried about our batch because they took several days to start moving around, but we ended up releasing 15 adult ladybugs. Whole thing took about 4 weeks. Very cute - a nice deep pink with lots of spots.

All of our lady bug babies died before they turned to red lady bugs. I think they suffocated? They climbed the sides and died there.

We loved this little lady big house. Very low maintenance and all of them seemed to hatch! My 3 year old loves watching all the phases of the lady bug life cycle! They loved for a long time then we took them outside to be released so hopefully they will keep the aphids away in the summer on my roses. We can’t wait to try it again! Even my 10 and 8 year old loves it. FYI the bugs do come live in the package so make sure you open it right away!

Everything was great about this kit BUT not enough food! I ended up buying Idopod food off Amazon that listed ladybugs would also eat the food because these guys ran out of food way too early. If they don’t have food, they will eat each other. Love the kit but need way more food

By the time it showed up the ladybugs had emerged. Missed my grandaughters birthday and theres no way to return
