At Whimsical Wings Farms, our Monarch caterpillars are raised outdoors on a real working farm—not in a sterile lab. They grow on fresh, farm-grown milkweed under the warmth of natural sunlight, just like in the wild. Our caterpillars are never handled by humans, ensuring a stress-free, natural development.
When it’s time to ship, we carefully pack each one with plenty of fresh milkweed—not only to nourish them during travel but to cushion them gently for a safe and comfortable journey. It’s our way of respecting the life cycle and giving you the healthiest, happiest caterpillars possible.
