Got my daughter a butterfly kit a good few years ago now (she's 26!).and we released several Painted Ladies into the wild. Very satisfying.
Brother and I used to raise Garden Tiger moths in jam jars. They have lovely furry caterpillars and we held races with them. Accommodating on food so easy to rear, and it was spellbinding watching the transitions from caterpillar to pupa, and then the moth emerging.
