"<p>You will receive 5 painted lady butterfly larvae, also known as caterpillars, in a closed jar with all the food they need to grow. Place the jar in a safe location away from direct sunlight or cold drafts. Caterpillars can take up to 14 days to reach maturity, at which time they'll begin to form chrysalises on the inside top of the cup. Read thoroughly the instructions in your Butterfly Growing Kit to ensure your caterpillars successfully complete their metamorphoses.</p>"
