Well, whenever I kept a caterpillar like that, it always died. I usually did that and put a bunch of leaves in there for him to munch on. As for water, I used to just put a tiny drip on one of the leaves and hoped for the best:) My advice... keep him for a night, but then let him go the next day.
Another Answer: If you're going to keep a caterpillar for a pet, make sure you research what type of plant it eats. The Butterfly website (http://butterflywebsite.com/) has photos of caterpillars as well as butterflies. Caterpillars are very specific as to which host plants they eat, so do your research to help it grow to full size so it can morph into a chrysalis.
yes you can the best caterpillars to keep are monarch caterpillars. they live on swan plants but if that plant runs out you can feed them pumpkin :)
If you want to. I keep mine inside.
Yes, it can. Whether or not it can form without deformity when it pupates on the side of a jar depends on the species of caterpillar.
watch them
it is best to keep them in a box or a jar but in mint me best a box because they have more room but what ever you do do not get them wet or they will die
Northern minnesota caterpillars can vary. Some are fuzzy, black and yellow as a bee. Some can look alll green as grass.

To determine the jar with the greatest amount of paint, look for the jar with the highest value in the table. To find the jar with the least amount of paint, look for the jar with the lowest value in the table.
They look like Monarchs
so caterpillars have something to look forward to
Monarch butterfly caterpillars are yellow, black, and white striped and grow to be about two inches long before they pupate.

I think that it depends on what KIND of caterpillar it is.
