« Amazon Late Shipping!!!!! »

What's the point of paying for Amazon Prime when packages keep arriving late???? It doesn't matter how fun a toy is for a 3 year old, when it comes the day AFTER their birthday!!!

« Hit with the kids, but buy during spring and summer, not fall or winter »

I bought this for my nieces, and they couldn't stop talking about it. Unfortunately, I bought it for them in September, and the Fall was right around the corner. You have to send out for the eggs/larvae, and the temperature must be above a certain temperature (I think 50 degrees Farenheit) for them to mail them to you. Otherwise the eggs/larvae will die. So my nieces enthusiasm has been chilled until the spring... it has really piqued their interest though, as they still remember the gift four months later. (for purposes of knowing appropriateness of age, one is 6 and the other is 3).

« Great gift for the bug lover! »

My 7 year old recieved this as a gift for his birthday. It was a hit. We had no idea what the lifecycle for a ladybug was, it was fascinating to learn and watch the whole process. We were a little sad when we finally had to let them go. The Ladybug land is very durable and can be used again. We can't wait to order more ladybug larvae and start the process over.

« Incredible product AND Service! »

Ladybug Land is a terrific product for my kids. We had a blast: (a) anticipating the larvae arrival (b) watching them eat and grow (c) transforming into little ladybugs. Huge thumbs ups from my 9 year old son and 6 and 4 year old daughters. We live in Florida and I ordered these towards the end of summer. There was no way the larvae could survive the Florida heat via normal transportation methods so I emailed customer service to arrange for a different method. Pat White, the CEO and Founder of Insect Lore, responded personally and made certain that we received our larvae as quickly and as safely as possible. They were under no obligation to provide extra service or anything but Pat was beyond gracious and considerate and I give a huge thumbs up to the customer service of Insect Lore.

« Fun and Educational »

This toy allows you the chance to watch lady bugs grow before your eyes. From the larva to actual ladybugs. My son was fascinated by the whole thing and would check on them a couple times a day. After they were grown we were able to put them in the garden.
