My friend organised a spree on Live Caterpillar to Butterfly Kit from ButterflyLodge in Singapore. Woah all the kiasu moms like me jumped in to place an order.. keke.. she had some 115 kits deliver to her home.. meaning 230 caterpillars!! YUCKS.. I would have faint if i were her.. so, for SGD2.00, we get as below. It even came with just enough leave to feed them..

| each kit comes with 2 caterpillars in a netted box. In the box, there is a satay stick for them to crawl/hang from later: | |

biow, why are they selling the caterpillars? i just can't help feeling pity for them. it's just like confining their freedom.
so are you setting them free after that?
sorry for feeling weird abt this stuff

Kiut, Yes, have to release them.. actually they are very fussy eater.. each type of caterpillar only eat certain type of plant.. so i think the place that selling caterpillars is actually a breeding butterfly place.. and butterfly have limited life span, after become butterfly, they live for a few more days only.. so the place is raising the awareness that butterfly is important to the ecosystem.. actually their poo is to fertilize the plant.. and then when they become butterfly, they help to breed the plants by moving from flower to flower..
so, it's good cause if i think that way..
it's one of edu-farms (education farms) in singapore.
