Claim Your Live Ladybug Larvae OnlineThis Insect Lore Ladybug Land set does not come with live ladybug larvae but instead allows you to claim them online, giving you the flexibility to start raising your ladybugs when you are ready. This makes the kit a perfect choice to give as a gift and offers owners the option to wait for the right season or temperature to raise ladybugs. As soon as you are ready for your larvae, simply go online to claim your baby ladybugs and have them shipped live to your door. |
Watch Ladybugs Grow in Front of Your EyesYour ladybugs will be shipped to you in a tube with 10-15 larvae that includes all the food they need in this early stage of life. The ladybug larvae will eat, grow, and molt for about a week to ten days. Once they have stored enough energy, they will attach themselves to the walls and floor of their habitat to begin the pupal stage of their lives. Once the adult ladybugs will emerge from the pupas, they will rely on you to provide their food. The open, diorama-style habitat gives the ladybugs plenty of room to move about while they grow, with a water reservoir volcano in the center for them to drink from. The top of the domed habitat has a built-in magnifying glass for close-up ladybug observation. |
Set Your Ladybugs FreeAfter you have enjoyed your adult ladybugs for a few days, it is best to let them go outdoors so they can begin the ladybug life cycle all over again. Children often become attached to their ladybugs, but it is best to release them within a week of their emergence from the pupas. Ladybugs are helpful in the garden, where they can assist you by eating aphids that can be harmful to plants. Five ladybug larvae are guaranteed to develop into adult ladybugs. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
We received about 14 or 15 ladybug larvae and all survived to become ladybugs except for one, which I consider to be pretty impressive. The container was especially effective because my son was not able (or tempted) to manhandle to ladybugs, yet it was easy to keep the water filled with the specially designed lid and water tube. We had an excellent view of all the events taking place inside. I would recommend purchasing books to go along with this. We had four different simple books relying upon excellent photographs and easy-to-understand descriptions. This heightened my son's (and our) anticipation and helped us to better understand what was happening.
I can honestly say that this has been well-worth the price we paid for it. Soon we're going to get a refill kit of ladybug larvae and begin anew.

Reviewed in Germany on February 10, 2016
Très déçue car il manquait le coupon voucher alors que dans le descriptif ainsi que sur la photo le coupon voucher est annoncé dans l'envoi. Du coup après contact avec le vendeur par messagerie, il m'a dit de contacter amazon. Amazon m'a dit de renvoyer le produit et d'en recommander un en omettant de me préciser l'augmentation de prix du produit et pas qu'un peu. Mon fils de toute manière ne voulait pas redonner l'habitat donc pour éviter qu'il ne pleure et ne soit triste (c'est quand même son cadeau d'anniversaire le pauvre), j'ai préféré le garder et tant pis je rachèterais un coupon qui est plus cher que le jeu quand je l'ai acheté.
