It began with an ant named bob.
Going back to 2015, Jason saved an ant during his college years that his roommate was about to squish and named it bob. Bob lived a lavish and great life.
Due to bob's death weeks later, Jason wanted to start an ant colony and he eventually figured out that bob was actually a girl, as all worker ants are. It was quite the shock to him, so he renamed her bobette.
Jason's first experience with ants was his 7th grade science fair, in which he fed carpenter ants some mealworms. He was hooked after that, and has collected different species of ants ever since. He attended UC Berkeley, spent some time working on startups, and eventually ended up at a desk job. After deciding that desk jobs weren’t for him, he started Wildlife Kits as a way of turning his passion into a career. In his spare time Jason enjoys vegetable gardening and reads too many Chinese novels.
Pan is the head graphic designer for Wildlife Kits. She loves watching insects since she was just a little kid. She loved drawing them growing up and decided to keep them later on. Now, she helps Jason with many design projects for Wildlife Kits.
Our First Kit Ever
This was the first Wildlife Kit we shipped. This kit isn’t just a box—it’s a doorway to wonder, curiosity, and discovery for young minds.
Much to our delight, when we introduced our Wildlife Kits to the first school, the response was overwhelming. We watched as kids and teachers alike embraced the experience, their excitement growing with each new discovery.
As we saw the joy and curiosity that our kits sparked in the classroom, our purpose became clear: to provide every child with the opportunity to explore the wonders of nature up close.
We committed ourselves to creating high-quality, engaging kits that bring the magic of the natural world into classrooms everywhere, inspiring the next generation of young explorers.

Cared with love in California.
When we say "cared with love," we mean that we are very intentional about our processes and how we take care of our wildlife: health come first.
For example, our ants are taken care in large glass tubes with a water and food supply access to them all the time. We also use specialized cut blue sponges to make sure that it does not mold, keeping the queen ant and her babies safe and sound.
