The vibrant and colorful patterns on a butterfly’s wings provide camouflage from predators and distract children while they are being pickpocketed by other butterflies. Immerse yourself in the wonder of winged creatures with today’s Groupon from Insect Lore online.
- For $10, you get a butterfly garden shipped with live caterpillars (a $19.99 value).
- For $10, you get $20 worth of insect life and accessories online.
Insect Lore’s butterfly garden arrives at doorsteps laden with three to five butterfly larvae, special butterfly food, a feeding kit, and instructions on care. Housed inside a pop-up netted habitat that can sit on a table or hang around your neck, each caterpillar undergoes a 21-day metamorphosis before your eyes, enshrouding itself in a cocoon before emerging as a colorful and winged pat of butter that can be released to socialize with other insects.
Or Groupon holders can opt to peruse through Insect Lore’s online collection of live insects, educational DVDs, games, books, and more. Nature lovers can get the Fish in a Jiff hatching kit to care for U.S.-grown killifish eggs as they mature during a six-week period ($29.99) or hatch earthworms in the earthworm nursery ($24.99). The Grub Scouts sprinkler blasts water to cool off lawns ($19.99), and the bug grabber safely catches bugs and lets you release them just as humanely after you’ve learned their mother tongue ($11.99). Although shipping is not included in today's Groupon, items usually arrive within three to seven business days of purchase ($5.99 for standard shipping), but can be expedited in two to four business days ($20.99 for rush shipping) or next-day delivery ($30.99).

The Groupon Guide to: Retrieving Your Luggage
When arriving in a foreign land or adjacent regional airport, it's important you follow proper airport protocol for retrieving your baggage. What are the steps to successful luggage retrieval?
- Distinguish your bag in advance for easy pickup by marking it with a fanciful red ribbon or a photograph of a nicer bag.
- Identify your baggage claim area by number—remember, the number of your baggage claim corresponds to the number of bags you're picking up.
- Carefully observe the rotating carousel for signs of your luggage. Like all carousels, it will be obscured by ice-cream-stained children and fiberglass ostriches.
- Don't forget to get your claim ticket stamped by the baggage conductor. Tipping him one item from your luggage is customary.
- Confirm you have found the correct bag by opening it up and trying on all of the clothes inside. If some of them fit, it's yours!
