Review: So simple and so beautiful!! - I purchased the kit with 2 cups and it turned into 10 beautiful butterflies. I purchased a 2 cup "refill" and it turned into 9 beautifull butterflies and 1 that the wings didn't fully inflate. So, I then 1 purchased this 4 cup "refill" and now I have 21 caterpillars growing amazingly fast. Looking forward to lots of butterflies. I actually have released the butterflies into my apartment since I several Aerogarden Bounty Elite hydroponics gardens with all kinds of plants blooming and the butterflies seem very happy drinking the nectar from the blooms (and pollinating them too!). Although I can and have hand pollinated the various blooms, where is the fun in hand pollination?
Review: Dependable & superior - Best company! High quality! Super customer service! All of my team ordered bc I love them so much- butterflies all over the school grounds!

### ⭐⭐⭐ Missing caterpillars
*by C***H on June 11, 2025*

The caterpillars arrived in good condition, but two of the cups contain only 4 caterpillars rather than the five per cup as listed in the item description. No sign of the 2 caterpillars in question, alive or dead.
