The better half saw an ad on TV a while back for a mail-order butterfly habitat, where they grow and hatch and you get 'pet butterflies' you can observe and release.
Being the awesome husband that I am
, I got her one. But I didn't get her the dinky kit on TV. I searched and found a company called InsectLore, and ordered the supersize teacher/classroom kit. You wind up with 30 or so butterflies in a week, after normal attrition. They have an even larger kit, but it's prohibitively large and pricey.
I'm buying their praying mantis kit next I think.
Pics attached, more to come; enjoy!
