When should I order my insects if I live in a hot climate?Updated 8 months ago

We recommend that all customers review the temperatures in their area prior to ordering their insects and only order them when daytime temperatures are between 50-90 degrees Fahrenheit. 

  • Some customers may live in climates that experience extreme temperatures throughout the year.
  • Customers who reside in California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, or Florida may want to complete their butterfly project earlier in the year when the temperatures are cooler.
  • Late winter and early spring may be a better option for customers in those locations, but always be sure to refer to the 50-90 degrees Fahrenheit guidelines when ordering insects.
