Live Butterfly Kits: An Exciting Way to Learn and Preserve Rainforests

What better way to teach the cycle of life than by witnessing the metamorphosis of live caterpillars into butterflies? With the largest selection of live butterfly kits sold on the internet by The Butterfly and Nature Gift Store, you can observe the caterpillar's transition into a beautiful Painted Lady butterfly while learning about biological life cycles. Or you could just simply enjoy the aesthetics of nature through the butterflies' magnificent colorings. Live Butterfly Rearing Kits contain everything you need to witness the wonder of the butterfly life cycle. By watching the caterpillars change into a chrysalis (cocoon) and then finally emerge as a beautiful butterfly, children are able to not only view the stages of life, they actively participate in the care and feeding of the butterflies. Most butterflies have an average lifespan of 30 days so they can be used in a classroom setting where long term care commitments are not practical. Each butterfly rearing kit contains live caterpillars, a see-through net cage, special food and easy instructions. The kits are available in three sizes; medium, large and school size, and come with an option to receive the kit with live caterpillars immediately or at a later date. They can be ordered anytime of the year including the winter months, and make fun, interactive science projects for children. The butterfly framed art and displays contain real butterflies and come with a certificate of authenticity, which explains the butterfly's origin and how your purchase helped to save our rainforests. Most of these are encased in glass on all sides which allows for viewing of the butterflies from all angles, making these an excellent tool to teach the biological anatomy or aesthetic qualities of the butterfly. The Butterfly and Nature Gift Store web site was started by Randi Jones, who while obtaining her Master's of Science degree in Agricultural Entomology, discovered how little exposure people had to the exotic and interesting insects of the world, especially the beautiful butterfly. The butterflies used in her environmentally friendly art work and kits are raised in butterfly farms and are common species in their native countries. These butterfly farms create an alternative for villagers to generate income, instead of clearing precious rainforest habitat in turn protects the natural wild butterflies living in the rainforest that are necessary for the delicate balance of rainforest life. Along with the live butterfly kits, the Butterfly and Nature Gift Store sells other live wildlife kits such as ladybugs, ant farms, frogs, and hermit crabs which can be used as great interactive tools to teach children about biological life cycles. Also available are educational nature interactive toys, books and games as well as sources for free screensavers and wallpaper.
