I've used various containers for caterpillar rearing but due to plant consumption and amount of frass produced I now use several olds aquariums with screen tops for aeration.. I have five BST cats on a pot of parsley and coneflowers with emerald moth cats in the current house. I think the BST cats should pupate soon. Hopefully before they devour the parsley.
Although I enjoy rearing the caterpillars, my main reason that I interfere with "Mother Nature" is protection of the cats from the many predators in Cliff's backyard jungle.
