> 3 day3-Pack Butterfly Enclosure helped us release over 100 Monarch butterflies!! We started off with 12 caterpillars end of July. We used these enclosures for the different phases from the egg to the caterpillar to the chrysalis to the butterflies! The enclosure blends into the garden with the white crisp looking mesh & green trim. Because of the light colored mesh netting sides top & bottom the natural lighting and the air was able to flow through the sanctuary without cooking or overheating the process. The white mesh helped the colors of the caterpillars & the chrysalis stand out brilliantly when it came to taking pictures & video. The viewing side of the cube is genius when youre showing off your sanctuary. You can even take pictures on that clear side and the pictures come out clearly as if youre inside the sanctuary! The caterpillars utilized the top of the enclosure to transform into chrysalis stage. The height was perfect because even when we were moving plants in & out, there was plenty of room to not disturb the many butterfly chrysalis on the top. The very practical feature was the double zipper which we utilized daily. The double zipper gave us plenty of opening to move the milkweed plants in and out. The enclosure fit 4 1-gallon milkweed pots easily. Those caterpillars are munchers so we were in and out every day! The zippers were nice because when the butterfly was ready to fly away, we could leave part of the flap opening for them to come out. The zippers also provided plenty of maneuverability when taking pictures or video inside the pop-up sanctuary. Make sure you have plenty of pollinator plants for the butterflies to land on to dry their wings after coming out of the chrysalis. We had milkweed in the garden as well so when the butterflies came back, they would lay eggs on the underside of the milkweed leaf. Thats how we got 3 generations this season. Then wed move the tiny caterpillars inside the enclosure. When the last butterfly flies away, probably end of October, it will be easy to clean & spray down the enclosure, fold it up and store it for next season. I highly recommend the pop-up butterfly enclosure. We thought the 3-pack was too much, but for our veteran season it worked out great because we ended up using 2 and gifted 1 to our milkweed supplier who she herself utilized a total of 3 enclosures!!

> 3 dayThis caterpillar cage is large in size, which is nice. However, the plastic side, which is really necessary to put on the bottom, means the zippered part is then on the side, and that also makes the handles relatively useless.

Greater than one weekI have had a butterfly garden for years and this year our neighbor has a wasp nest we cant kill and they keep killing my caterpillars. We bought these to pop I to the garden. I bought a few more potted milkweed and cut my milkweed from garden to keep adding and its working great. I have over 20 caterpillars between the 3. Keeping the poo level down is a challenge but saving the life is worth it

> 3 dayI wish there were 2 zippers as a reviewed said a caterpillar created its crysalis on the zipper. I am keeping the milkweed toward the back on the cage. I am using it sideways. Its working great so far. Love it!
