Peacock Catterpillar - How to Raise

[Debbie]

This one was located in a garden on the patio and the little girl wants to look after it.

What should she do ? (or not do)

[ScottD]

well, it's food plant is nettle.
Ideally you would leave it in a nettle patch in the garden or if she does bring it indoors then feed it fresh nettle tips.

maybe if its wandering round patio its looking for somewhere to pupate?
