With the Caterpillar Chrysalis Carousel, you're not just providing a safe haven for caterpillars— you're inspiring a passion for nature, teaching valuable life lessons, and helping protect one of the planet’s most delicate pollinators.

Unlike traditional mesh pop-ups, which can leave caterpillars exposed to predators , the Carousel offers reinforced, predator-proof protection.

Its design allows for an unobstructed view of every stage in the butterfly’s lifecycle.


Educational for All Ages: A hands-on learning tool that turns nature into a living classroom.

Built with high-quality, sustainable materials for years of use.

This is where it all begins. The caterpillar hatches and immediately begins eating and growing. In this phase, it sheds its skin multiple times as it prepares for transformation.


During the chrysalis stage, the caterpillar transforms inside its protective casing. Though it looks still, incredible changes are happening within. The caterpillar’s body is reorganizing to become a butterfly.


A butterfly emerges — delicate, strong, and ready to fly. This final stage marks the full transformation and the start of a new life of pollination and beauty.
Give caterpillars a safer, smarter place to transform.
The Carousel makes it easy to nurture and observe the butterfly lifecycle — right from your home or classroom.

"We got the Carousel for our 4-year-old daughter, and she was completely captivated by the caterpillars. It was such a fun and educational experience for all of us to share. The setup was simple enough that even our older kids jumped in to help. My wife, who’s an elementary school teacher, was so impressed she’s planning to bring it into her classroom next!"

The Caterpillar Chrysalis Carousel is a clear, sturdy butterfly enclosure that makes it easy and fun to watch caterpillars grow and turn into butterflies. It’s simple to use, easy to clean, and keeps caterpillars safe from predators.
Your Carousel requires light assembly. Follow the setup instructions available under the Care section on the About tab of our website. Once assembled, place it on a flat surface with good light (not direct sun), add fresh host plant leaves, and gently place your caterpillars inside.
Yes! After each butterfly release, clean it and it’s ready to use again for the next group.
We recommend no more than eight caterpillars at a time. This gives them space to grow and form chrysalides safely.
You can use the Carousel indoors or outdoors as long as it’s not in direct sunlight. Covered porches or shaded areas work well, as long as the space has good light and protection from wind or rain. Avoid placing it directly on the ground to keep ants and other insects out.
Yes! The Carousel is perfect for families and classrooms. Adult supervision is recommended when handling caterpillars or releasing butterflies.
