Key Features

• Space-Saving Pop-Up Design: Collapses flat into a neat circle when not in use, then pops open instantly to approximately 16 cm / 6.3 inches in diameter and 20 cm / 7.9 inches in height — plenty of room for butterflies to stretch their wings.
• Easy Feeding & Releasing: Features a convenient top opening and a large zippered side opening, making it simple to add food, water, or fresh flowers, and to gently release your butterflies back into the wild when the time comes.
• See-Through Mesh Walls: The soft, breathable mesh construction gives you a clear 360° view of every stage of metamorphosis without disturbing the habitat's residents.
• Durable & Portable: Built with a sturdy frame that holds its shape and won't snap when rested on the ground. The built-in carry handle means you can take the enclosure outdoors, to school, or on nature walks.
• Washable Removable Bottom: The detachable fabric base lifts away easily for quick cleaning, keeping the habitat hygienic and ready for the next caterpillar you find.
• Educational Fun for All Ages: An engaging, hands-on learning tool that teaches children (and curious adults!) about insect life cycles, metamorphosis, and the wonders of the natural world.
