It’s not long until the Summer Holidays, but there is still plenty of time to complete your next insect project!

If you haven't had a chance to complete your Caterpillar to Butterfly project yet (or just want to have another go!) now is a great time to order!

As the weather gets warmer, the full metamorphosis process will take place more quickly, so there is still plenty of time to complete the process!

If you have noticed some red drops after your butterflies emerge - do not worry!

Your butterflies will expel a red liquid called meconium. This is a completely natural occurrence. Meconium is the leftover part of the caterpillar that was not needed to make the butterfly. This is stored in the intestine of the butterfly and expelled after the butterfly emerges.
