How do you care for a caterpillar?

Answer 1

Caterpillars are delicate insects so be gentle when touching them.

A caterpillar needs a clear container with space and breathing holes (use toothpick & make up to 25)

In your clear container fill the bottom with maple and apple tree leaves( both leaves taste sweat to a caterpillar)

Place inch long twigs throughout the container and perch only one( for cocoon)

Every three days all of this should be replaced if you have more then 5 (if you have one change every thing weekly)

Caring for a cocoon if similar, just replace the leaves when they start to crimple up

caring for a butterfly is not simple you must having lots of space for it, sugar water, and orange slice and healthy flowers.

People Usually release the caterpillar once its a butterfly!

But,

Many others think moths are much more simple, just create space and but sqaures of whool in the container as well as a light that they follow thinking it's the moon.
