How can you breed butterflies? - Here's how

Thistle butterflies, peacock butterflies, lemon butterflies, etc. - Butterflies are probably one of the most popular insects. But did you know that you can breed butterflies? It is easy to forget that every beautiful and elegant looking butterfly was once a voracious caterpillar. How does the transformation from caterpillar to butterfly take place? How long does it take for a caterpillar to hatch from an egg? How long does it take for the caterpillar to pupate? Question after question: This is exactly what children can observe by raising butterflies.

Turn them into little scientists with the various TimeTEX breeding kits. You'll be amazed at how fascinated they will be by their own butterfly breeding. Order butterfly caterpillars - grow butterflies - be amazed! The Butterfly Gift Set includes a voucher for caterpillars in the rearing container - give it away now & give pleasure! Have you seen our other kits for ladybirds, wild bees, mushrooms and plants?

This is what our butterfly growing kit contains

Raising butterflies - it's easy! The kit contains German-bred caterpillars & all the essential materials you need for this exciting project, plus lots of great accessories! With the TimeTEX Butterfly Breeding Kit, children can experience the transformation from a small caterpillar to a native butterfly. The butterfly's striking orange colour is accentuated by the black and white pattern.

Our research workshop offers a choice of breeding kits. There are 5, 10, 15 or 33 caterpillars in each kit. To help you choose the right butterfly growing kit for you, we provide you with an online comparison chart.

  • Adequate food
  • Rearing container for caterpillars until pupation
  • Rearing aviary (diameter 30 cm, height 30 cm) for ideal observation (pupa to butterfly)
  • Butterfly identification chart
  • Spectacles
  • Thistle life cycle models (egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, butterfly)
  • Great stickers

Please note! You can order the butterfly caterpillars all year round, but they will only be shipped from March to October. You should also bear in mind that you will need to allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.

How do I order caterpillars?

Simply order the appropriate rearing kit from our online shop or by telephone, email or fax. Please indicate your preferred delivery date. Please note that we only send caterpillars at the beginning of the week.

You will normally receive your caterpillars and accessories during the week. Once you have received the caterpillars it will take approximately 1-2 weeks for them to pupate. Your butterflies will emerge about 1-2 weeks later.

Raising butterflies at school & kindergarten

Raising butterflies is not only a unique nature experience for the home, but also for schools and kindergartens. Offer children the opportunity to discover the world of butterflies and their metamorphosis live with our exciting Butterfly Breeding Kit. Children can get up close and personal with butterflies, their pupae, caterpillars and eggs. Breeding your own butterflies is a brilliant nature experience as part of primary school science lessons or a great idea for your 'butterfly' project in the nursery.

We have a complete set of 33 caterpillars especially for schools and kindergartens. Each pupil receives their own caterpillar in their own rearing cup, where they can watch it transform into a butterfly over the following weeks. The butterfly kit also contains many valuable suggestions for environmentally and climate-conscious behaviour and education for sustainable development.

Best of all, for your next project with another group, just buy more butterfly caterpillars as the butterfly kit is reusable and therefore sustainable. We offer the Caterpillar Replacement Kit for the Butterfly breeding kit.

What can you achieve by raising butterflies?

Raising your own butterflies is definitely worthwhile! For most children, it is a new experience and one that sparks their interest. Breeding butterflies helps to achieve the following learning objectives:

  • Children learn about butterfly species & their way of life
  • Arises children's interest in animals and nature
  • Fosters a sense of responsibility in children
  • Raise awareness of native habitats
  • Adds variety and fun to everyday life & lessons
