She certainly looks very happy, lol! If you are putting her inside it might be an idea to put the greenhouse near a window, so that she gets any sun and good daylight. They do go underneath moss to hibernate, I took pics of one coming out after having gone under, looking for a nesting place I think.

I will have to check my Fatsia, it mostly gets frozen before flowers open and we had a few hard frosts. :(

This is the Queen coming from under moss next to a Nectarine tree (non-producing!). It also went into a mole hole and out another exit. It was on 13th April, but I have pics of a B. terrestis from 7th March.
