Rearing Monarchs

Each Monarch Rearing Kit contains fourteen to sixteen 3- to 5-day-old monarch larvae (caterpillars) and rearing instructions. The larvae arrive in small cups with milkweed diet for shipping and must be transferred to milkweed plants or leaves to complete their development. Please make sure you have fresh milkweed available before your caterpillars arrive. Each caterpillar generally needs 18 inches of milkweed to pupate. Pupation will occur in about 10 days and adults will emerge 10-14 days...

This kit includes 1 clear plastic feeding dish, 1 feeding scrubber, and nectar mix (ingredients you wouldn't normally find in your kitchen). Makes 1 liter of nectar and will not ferment.
