Toys and Games Reviews of Insect Lore Ladybug Land
Customer Review: Awesome Toy!!! But tape cover on.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is simply an awesome toy! My 5 year old self-proclaimed "Bug Expert" thoroughly enjoyed our ladybug experience. I must say, I found it fascinating myself.
Every single ladybug survived to adulthood, and is happily eating aphids in my garden now.
We did have one bit of excitement when someone picked it up by the lid and we discovered my little tape tabs were insufficient. Ladybugs ended up all over the kitchen. We rounded them all up and all ended well, but it was quite a scene. I would strongly suggest securely taping the lid on before putting the ladybugs in. It just sits on the base, there is no locking mechanism.
Customer Review: Simple, wonderful, fun
Summary: 5 Stars
My 6-year-old daughter received this as a Christmas present, so we had to wait a long time to send away for our bugs, because we really wanted to set them free afterwards. The little house is so cute, she played with it anyway. The bugs came within the timeframe indicated, and we got 11 of them into the house (Mommy might have let a few escape by accident!) Every single one of them lived and hatched into a ladybug, which really surprised me. The whole family was absolutely fascinated by the process. When it came time to let them go, they crawled all over my delighted daughter's hands before flying away. We're going to order more larva!Customer Review: Sometimes Cannibals (but not always)!
Summary: 1 Stars
Our ladybug larvae seemed to prefer to eat each other rather than the food which came with our shipment of ladybugs. It was rather gruesome to watch, so we let the larvae loose outside. The company representative we spoke with had no explanation for the phenomenon, but was willing to ship us another package of ladybugs free of charge. I don't think we can handle watching a repeat of the cannibalism.
The new larvae behaved themselves (i.e., they didn't eat each other). They grew to maturity and we relaeased them into the backyard. I guess ladybugs, like love, can be better the second time around.
Customer Review: A neat learning experience...

My 4 year old daughter is a ladybug nut. We got this for Christmas and sent away for our larvae which come in a tube in the mail with all the food they need. Even the adults were fascinated watching the larvae turn to pupa and then to ladybugs. The customer service was very helpful when we called because our bugs stopped doing anything. They told us the bugs were "dormant" because it was too cold in my daughters room. We moved them to a warmer spot and within 30 minutes had ladybugs!! Definitely worth the cost. It is clean and sturdy thank goodness! Although the inside does get slightly messy (of course). We loved it.Customer Review: A ladybug lover's dream
Summary: 5 Stars
My 3-year old absolutely LOVES ladybugs, and this item was a big hit with her. We kept it on the kitchen counter, near where we eat, and the ladybugs and their activities were always a popular dinner conversation topic! When the weather turned warm enough, we released the ladybugs in our yard and watched each and every one of them spread their wings and fly away. I am sure we will order additional larvae and do it all over again. The product is sturdy (we just had to remind our daughter not to jostle or try to lift the dome) and makes it easy to achieve successful results. A very fun and experience for the entire family!!
