The Fine Print You Really Need to Read Before Registering

Before registering please note that your caterpillar may require care for one to two weeks before becoming a chrysalis. There is a very good chance that your chrysalis will hibernate over the winter. Hibernation is from 6-9 months. You will be instructed how to care for your chrysalis during its hibernation. Your butterfly must be released within North Carolina. Please contact us if you have any questions.
