Yes!! Do this! We did black swallowtail butterflies and it was so fun to watch the caterpillars munch on parsley then become butterflies! I was even able to get a video of one making (turning into ๐ค) a cocoon.

We currently have a caterpillar in a cocoon in a jar amongst my plants at home. You don't even need fancy equipment, just a hungry buddy from the yard.
That's where we found ours. There were a bunch of caterpillars so we bought the tent thing.
Pretty sure this is the third one we've done now. Maybe I should invest in the tent. Lol.
Lol, for just one at a time I don't know that it's worth it (I think we had 10-12), the one we had was big and tried to blow away ๐. We put a couple of bricks or pieces of wood in the bottom.
He had a small one that he had gotten for Christmas when he was 3 but he definitely destroyed that before we used it. Lmao.
Wearing my surprised face rn.

We just ordered one from Amazon, it was in 2018 and I have no idea what brand it was ๐.
