Gilma, I was working in a kindergarten classroom and we had just ordered the caterpillars, let them chill in a small container full of food, and then they stuck themselves to the lid, and went through metamorphosis, after sticking the cacoons into a tank!

Hi Abi. Beautiful butterfly. Can you please move the good picture with it on your hand to first spot? The picture of containers doesn't look so great. Thanks so much.
