New Butterfly Bungalow Let’s You Experience Live Butterflies Up CloseBy John WhiteShafter

(SHAFTER, CALIF., December 1, 2006) – Ever want to get up close to a real butterfly but couldn’t because they fly away so quickly? Well now you can with Insect Lore’s new Butterfly Bungalow .

The Butterfly Bungalow is a butterfly metamorphosis habitat designed like a child’s play tent. Simply mail away for ten live caterpillars and food, then watch them change into beautiful painted lady butterflies in the Butterfly Bungalow . Once they’ve hatched, children can enter into the nearly 4′ tall Bungalow and sit amongst the butterflies. After living with them for a few days, the butterflies can be released into the environment. The item will retail for $39.99 and is for children ages four and up.

“This new butterfly habitat is a natural extension for our butterfly line,” said John White, Director of Marketing for Insect Lore. “Our Butterfly Garden and Butterfly Pavilion habitats are extremely popular items. We’ve had numerous requests for a larger “walk-in” habitat, so we designed the Butterfly Bungalow . We believe it’s going to be just as popular as our other butterfly habitats.”

Founded in 1969, Insect Lore is a leading manufacturer of live nature habitats, bug toys, insect viewers and garden tools for children.
