Butterfly kits part of promotion
Trending
In an effort to raise awareness about the importance of monarch butterflies in local agriculture, Bayer Hawaii is partnering with Sharing the Butterfly Experience to present people the opportunity to enter to win a free monarch butterfly kit. Each kit includes everything a budding butterfly farmer needs to nurture a monarch caterpillar through the stages of growth into a fully-grown butterfly. The public can enter the sweepstakes via Bayer Hawaii's Instagram from Monday through Friday.
The butterfly kits are assembled by Sharing the Butterfly Experience, the only Hawaii member of the International Butterfly Breeders Association and Association For Butterflies. Each kit includes 15 live caterpillars, a 24-inch by 12 inch habitat to protect the caterpillar from predators, a picture book titled "How to Raise Monarch Butterflies," a bag of food to feed the caterpillars, a crown flower plant for the next generation and instructions on how to raise monarch butterflies. The crown flower plant is one of the most commonly found milkweed plants in Hawaii and a main food source of monarch caterpillars.
To enter, participants must visit Bayer Hawaii's Instagram @bayer4cropshi and like the promotion post. Participants must post their own photo of a butterfly or butterfly plant food and tag @bayer4cropshi and include the hashtags #BayerHawaii and #MonarchButterflySweepstakes. Three winners will be selected at random drawing and announced on June 10.
