Insect Lore or World Alive?

[Aviendha]

Has anyone tried the butterfly or stick insect kits that you can get? I have been looking on Amazon and spotted these:

Are they any good?

I'm in America, so it may not help, but I've had experience with the Insect Lore one. It is a great sturdy case that closes well. We just sent a card in (prepaid postage) and they sent us back our caterpillars with food. It was all very easy.

We've kept the container for the bugs, and it has held up very well, and we use it fairly often for ladybugs, praying mantises, caterpillars we use, etc.

One thing I noticed that on the World Alive one, people were complaining they had to send in extra money to actually get the caterpillars themselves. All I did was send in the card, and didn't have to pay anything else.
