Create your personalized ladybug garden with ladybug kit

To entertain & educate younger children & to stimulate the real life cycle, there has been an exponential demand for having customized cages for butterflies & ladybugs or ladybeetles. These delicate fairies needs an amiable climate for breeding & sustaining their lifecycle, which has led to the development of customized glass domes or cages where you’ll be able to see the entire evolution journey of a teeny-weeny caterpillar metamorphosing into a majestic butterfly, stretching out its wings before taking off for a whole new adventure. And with the herald of science fair projects at a very rudimentary age, children develop a keen interest for breeding such insects, which have more than 5000 discovered species. Butterfly experiments & caterpillar science project are one of the finest exemplary of basic biology projects that every kid are willing to participate & for that, you can build your very own customized butterfly & ladybug dome by following the instructions as mentioned below:

• For such projects, grab an aquarium which would be big enough to fit some twigs & branches with leaves, enough to sustain the caterpillar & the cocoon for a period of almost 2 months. You can also purchase raising ladybug kit which comes with a plastic dome and a container of larvae that are guaranteed to breed.
• Build the base of the aquarium with moisture enriched soil up to a considerable height that would be enough to sustain the tiny branches & would allow tiny little plants to bloom & flourish. Use a mesh wire on the top to create a well ventilated opening that would let your caterpillar to cling on the wire without escaping from it. Also, caterpillars are ravenously hungry all the time, so it would be a fair judgment not to make punch holes in the lid which would allow the caterpillars to escape.
  
• Coax the caterpillar from the tree from where you’ve found it & bring them along with the twig they’re clinging on. This would facilitate their adaptation to the new environment & also prevents the spread of any poisonous infection from their itchy back.
  
• Feed your caterpillar with the leaves from that particular tree from where you’ve found it. This would enhance their growth & would prepare them for forming their chrysalis stage.
• Clean your container daily & remove the frass & mold outgrowth in the soil. Moisten the environment daily & keep it near an optimal sunshine.
• Once the chrysalis develops, don’t disturb the twig on which it’s clinging. It’s going to take a quantifiable time before the chrysalis ruptures & the beautiful butterfly emerges, which would remain motionless before flying off for a new journey.
