The Stripey Caterpillar is a youth-led conservation business dedicated to saving butterflies and inspiring people to connect with nature through meaningful gifts, experiences, and education. Every purchase and experience supports butterfly conservation efforts.

The Stripey Caterpillar was founded by Milly, a 14-year-old homeschooler, who noticed how much joy people found in nature while visiting her family’s dahlia farm. She wanted to create a way for more people to experience the magic of butterflies and make a real impact on conservation. With her family’s support, she turned her passion into a movement!

Every purchase supports butterfly conservation! 100% of profits from The StripeyZine and Adopt a Chrysalis go directly into funding grassroots butterfly projects, habitat restoration, and education programs.
