Toys and Games Reviews of Insect Lore Ladybug Land
Customer Review: Incredible product AND Service!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Not Pleased...

My husband and I bought this for our 4 year old son for his birthday. The land arrived withen only a few days. We sent off for the ladybugs that night and the wait began. After a week, I checked my bank and found they had cashed the check, so I waited some more. I called after about 10 days and found out the ladybug had shipped. The ladybugs arrived 13 days after shipment and most were dead. My son was vey upset, he was looking forward to having his ladybugs. We did what we could to help the 2 that made it here alive, but it was to no avail. The paper that comes with the ladybug started to grow mold, as did the sponge inside. We also found out the ladybugs are allergenic, so parents be warned. This was a waste of $20, I wish now I had bought my son something else.Customer Review: Ladybug mausoleum

Larvae arrived with all but one dead. After a little while, it died too. Contacted the company and they responded very quickly. They also sent a new batch of ladybug larvae very quickly. The only problem is that these arrived dead too. All of them.
Emailed the company several times back and forth and finally came to a resolution. They sent Painted Lady "butterfly culture" aka tiny caterpillars.
As of June 12, 2005, the five sent are all alive. Hopefully, we will finally get to watch nature at work. All we've seen so far is the grim reaper.
So, in order, it's dead ladybug larvae; dead ladybug larvae; help from customer service;live caterpillars.
Now,all we have to do is figure out what to do with our empty ladybug land.
Customer Review: My Family Loves This
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is awesome. My family absolutely loves it. I find this very educational and I find it cute that our ladybugs are actually pink. The shipping through Amazon was fast and packaged to perfection. I order my larva online using the coupon code through Insect Lore and had it in my mailbox in less than a week. This is so fascinating to watch. The only downside to this product is that the dome could be more secured to its base but that's a small issue and we are very careful with our little house guest. I am so satisfied with this purchase. My kids naturally love all things science. My five year old son has named them all Beyonce and Jay Z. He also wants to know why none of them are blue lol. This is a product that all families would enjoy in my opinion.Customer Review: A little boring--kids review

I couldn't wait for when the lady bugs arrived in the mail. When they finally did, I was grossed out at the fact that they were tiny larvae. There wasn't much to watch besides the fact that you had to feed them everyday or else they'd die, but reaching my hand in there was probably one of the most dreaded things of the day...especially because nobody else would do it for me!
A lot of people complain that the ladybugs didnt live but I think all of mine made it to the ladybug stage. It may have been a disgusting process, but it felt great to finally let them go.
I recommend not getting these if you are not going to be willing to feed them and see white larvae.
