What kind of butterflies hatch from the chrysalis?

This kit does not automatically come with the butterflies. You get a certificate to order the caterpillars when you are ready. Using the code in the box, there's a cost of $5 to ship the caterpillars. The butterflies are Painted Lady.

they have not hatched this time, but when I have gotten them before, they were Painted Ladies.

Yes - I purposely used the clear liner because the butterflies were so pretty. I enjoy it. Very bright and cheery.

These aren't eggs, they are live lady bugs. Lady bugs do lay their eggs on the under side of leaves from spring to early summer. Not usually on the vegetable themselves, just the leaves.

Yes, it has lines and hatching. At first as I see on the picture and thought it was smooth, but no. Did they send me purple as I expected? No. It was gray with lines and hatching. Good luck find the smooth one. I'm going to find another one, only the smooth one, too.

Used this cage for monarchs; adding the potted milkweed plants with their resident caterpillar population. Excellent solution! The chrysalis' easily attached to the roof of the cage. Raised 5 beautiful monarchs. Only suggestion would be to line the cage floor. The caterpillars are impressive in their ability to digest..

Honestly who knows. It could be because its that different with different orders. Or it could be a pessimist vs an optimist. I wouldnt call any of my butterflies dull. I think they are beautiful.

I can't really answer the question technically, but I can answer from my observation. We have a bush in our backyard that attracts an amazing amount of yellow butterflys. Since I have been using the spray (4 years), I haven't noticed any difference in the butterfly population. We rarely get bumble bees, but we do get plenty of wasps. Haven't any change in either on of those, only terrific reduction in mosquitoes and "no see'ums."

I would try to keep some in a insect container with some plants such as perennial milkweed. I have had luck finding the eggs on the underside of the milkweed leaves. Of course they will need aphids or mites to eat, so if you can find some in your yard to put in with them that would be ideal. Good luck!

They were green, but I only saw one hatchling. They were not the stick and skinny variety.

They are native and non invasive. I had all the white flies cleaned off my trees in 3 weeks and still see the lady bugs every so often. The best idea for keeping my yard pest free

These I believe are magnitized. Go to Home Depot or Lowes and purchase magnes which you can glue to the wall or get a canvass from Michaels as I did and glue the magnet to the back of the canvass and the butterflies will stay. I hope that helps. Mary G.

I think the waiting time from pupa to chrysalis and then butterfly might be a bit long and they might lose interest.

Sadly, I did not have much luck with them. They are supposed to hatch in about 24 hours. They are not visible for about 3 days after that. I did hatch them years ago, and they worked well for my class. It's possible the area was too chilly (about 70 degrees F.)

I live in Scottsdale and was able to successfully hatch 3 pods. 2 were hatched directly outdoors hanging from a covershade above my garden and 1 was hatched indoors by a window.

I live in Texas, I hatched mine in the house. Th trouble I had, we could not find food they could eat. Every thing was too large. I hatched many many, could find o food in the wild or in the pet stores. Better have insects on your plants or they will eat each other. No poison on plants.

Not sure if this helps but i kept them in an upstairs bedroom that was warm (no air conditioning in that room) and it took about 3 weeks for them to hatch. I had them in a bin with a net over so they can't get out but can still get air and light. Hopefully u get them to hatch they are so neat to watch!
