MacaKit is the best Kit in the world which lets you rear wonderful Old World Swallowtail (Papilio machaon) butterflies at home.

Due to its wonderful colours, this butterfly is one of the most beautiful species of whole Europe. If this is your first breeding experience, we suggest you to start with the ButterflyKit that is perfect for those who are approaching to the butterfly breeding world for the first time. 🦋

With this Kit, you’ll have the chance to closely discover all the secrets of these insects and to admire them in all their beauty.

Inside the box you’ll find all the necessary (feed, breeding containers and instructions) to make the caterpillars completing their transformation into butterflies.

Once they have emerged from the pupae, you can set them free in nature to continue their life cycle: it will be a unique emotion to see them fly for the first time.

MacaKit is an excellent gift idea to stimulate curiosity and spirit of observation for people of all ages.

Due to a certain level of intrinsic physiological mortality, it may occur that, during the experience, some caterpillar does not complete its metamorphosis.

In nature, the achievement of the adult butterfly stage is granted approximately to 1 caterpillar out of 50. With MacaKit we can assume with a good confidence that, following our instructions, at least 1 caterpillar will be able to complete the metamorphosis.

The average length of the experience is approximately of 30 days. The Kits must be activated within 2-3 days from the receipt.
