As we are working with live insects, we accept all orders based on the date you wish to gift your chrysalis box. Online orders are accepted for gifting dates up to 4 weeks in advance.
Your order will be available for pick up or be delivered to you the day of your gifting date.
You don't want to receive your chrysalis box earlier as your butterfly may emerge early. Therefore, your gift recipient may miss out on witnessing the full butterfly transformation. Generally the butterfly will expect to emerge 3 - 5 days after receiving your order.
To make sure your chrysalis has the highest chance of survival, we do keep it for a few days to monitor its health and make sure it is safe to travel before sharing it. On average, you will have 3-5 days with the chrysalis before the butterfly emerges (aka eclose).
We are not able to guarantee the emerging date as these are wild insects. However, we will provide an estimated date in the welcome note for your reference.

Fret not, each box includes a detailed information on how to care and release for your butterfly. We are here to answer any questions and support you through your journey.
As these are wild insects, please note there is a 3% chance on average that it may not emerge successfully. Should your chrysalis fail to complete its eclosing, we will replace it in the next available batch. Replacement will be available for pick up in Ewa Beach or delivery service is available for a fee.
We require full 100% payment to secure your order. Once it is confirmed, we will raise and reserve the chrysalis for you. The deposit is non-refundable and we do not allow cancellation.
