SAFARI | Lebenszyklus eines Hirschkäfers

The detail on the pupa is unreal—you can actually see the little legs folded up. My kids keep grabbing a different stage each night to quiz each other on which comes next. Such a simple set but it really sparks curiosity.

The four-stage set—egg, larva, pupa, and adult beetle—makes the metamorphosis so much easier to explain than any picture in a book. My nephew kept picking up the pupa piece and asking questions, which is exactly what I hoped for. Solid little models with good detail for the price.

My kids are obsessed with bugs, so this little set was perfect for them. The egg, larva, pupa, and beetle stages are all surprisingly detailed and feel sturdy enough for small hands. It turned a casual interest into a real conversation about nature.
