Karen, hope you get this message. You could put your caterpillar in an aquarium with a screen top. It is most likely looking for a place to pupate. You don't have to add anything for the cocoon, as silkworms spin their own cocoons. Good luck!

I am so excited to identify this caterpillar I found on my deck It is fascinating! I have a preschool and will be starting again Septeer 12th adour first thee is "Insects". I elusive to meet is caterpillar until then. I am sure no one has ever seen one like this. I would like to know what environment I should keep it in, as well as what it eats. I would appreciate any info. Karen
