Caring for the caterpillar and cocoon
Cocoons should be kept at room temperature in an upright position and away from all other insects. Do not drop the cocoon or shake it. Do not remove the cocoon from where it is attached to.
Caterpillars should be kept at room temperature in the container. It is not advisable to purchase the leaves from supermarket as they may be sprayed with insecticide which could kill the caterpillar. Stop feeding the caterpillar once it becomes a chrysalis.
Do release the butterflies approximately 2 hours after it emerges from its cocoon.
