We recently raised and hatched 5 Painted Lady butterflies and it was the neatest thing to watch. They received the kit for Christmas but I wanted to wait until the weather was warm so we could release them after they were hatched rather than to keep them inside for the whole 2 weeks of their lives. Isn't that sad? Their life span is only 2 weeks...doesn't seem fair. The girls had a ball checking on the catepillars every day and watching them eat and grow. About a week after we got them they entered the chrysallis period and then about 5 days later we had butterflies hatching left and right. We kept the butterflies for 2 days and then released them.
