I read up on these a while back. There's a voucher in the box that you send off (I think you have to pay delivery of a few £) and they then send you the eggs (again, I think I remember that you get send Caterpillar eggs) at the appropriate time of year for you to hatch and grow them.
A friend had this for her kids a couple of years back and something like 3 of 4 that turned into butterflies survived and they then released in the right weather conditions.
As Haylhoo says, you get a voucher in the box to send off for your baby caterpillars. Think it's £2-£3 postage to pay, but caterpillars come in a little jar ready to watch grow. When they have turned into their cocoons, you put it in the pop up garden and wait for them to hatch out. I think you get 6 caterpillars. We were lucky, all of ours transformed and my daughter loved releasing them! :wink:

Ahh thank you for the response. It's a lovely idea, but my two kids are enough of a responsibility as it is, without adding 6 butterflies to the mix
out of stock for home delivery which is only option

hi I did contacted argos few weeks ago and they said it has been discontinued. so we did purchase from amazon I think but the only missing part was that you have to wait untill march to have cocoon. my son was so disappointed.

Please be aware you can only purchase the baby caterpillars from March-September. Postage is about £5 for them.
We've got the net and just buy the baby caterpillars each year and re use it. My boys love it

Great idea, but a shame for a Christmas Present, as can only order the caterpillars between March to September
