StartingOver Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I just ordered both for my daughter, she is doing grammar stage Biology this year !! We did them last year with my son, but simply must do them again. So excited. We had a blast last time. I adore Insect Lore ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof3littles Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 My DS1 got a glow in the dark ant colony for Christmas. We ordered the ants but they can't deliver due to the cold. He'll be excited when they come. We've enjoyed doing the butterflies in the past. I have a kit in the basement that's been sitting there for 2 years; it might be time to finally order and do it again with DD and DS2.

I wish I was in TX right now. DH was in Austin for business over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StartingOver Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 It was 86 today and mostly cloudy so not to bad, I almost turned on the AC ! I want to move north, when hubby retires. I am used to mountains and snow having lived in Alaska and Montana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom2011 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 We have done both of these also, the butterflies twice, they are definitely worth it! The kids loved them! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StartingOver Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 LOL I can see us doing them every year, just because we love them. We get biology two years in a row and skip two then back to it with the 4 year cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NittanyJen Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 We did butterflies and ladybugs both, and they were indeed really fun! Next time we'll do them in late spring or summer so we can set them free instead of having to keep them until they die. I was impressed with how hardy those butterflies are-- One got trapped under the orange plate-- stoneware-- for three days, and when I finally found it and freed it, it took about 12 hours to uncrumple its wings again and then it was fine again! Come to think of it, we're doing bio this year . . . maybe I need to order a set of each this spring . . . though with a year old kitten it could be trickier. We had only older cats last time, and they left them alone. With the kitten around, I can just see coming downstairs in the morning to find butterflies all over the house and the cat leaping from the top of the china cabinet!!
