Are you going to build or buy a caterpillar house to protect them? I have 3 BST chrysalides in this tiny house I made with a piece of screen and a glue gun. The 3 caterpillars I fed inside have changed to chrysalides. I am only worried that my house is too small and that they won't have enough space to stretch out their wings. Now I have 7 more caterpillars outside on my parsley. I have not brought them into the cage because I don't want to crowd the butterflies as they emerge from chrysalides. I am guessing that now I must build a bigger cage. Any suggestions?
