I love caterpillar raising and here are the main things I've learned: -Keep in a dry well ventilated container -If you have more then one try and keep them separate some get aggressive with each other -Glass containers are best, or mesh: but make sure the size is appropriate in proportion to the caterpillar -Find out the type of leaves the caterpillar feeds on and make sure you give fresh leaves at least every two days (moths tend to eat tree leaves and butterflies like flower or plant leaves) -Handle them as little as possible -Clean the container every two or three days, don't use harsh chemicals, just water will do Good Luck!
