Don't know if this is the right forum, I have found a caterpillar delivered in my Organic veg box (local so I assume it is a native species). Does anyone know what it is and what to feed it, and how to care for it till I can release it when it becomes a moth / butterfly. I have put in one leaf from each veg I got delivered and it is living in small fish tank in my house.
Well, there'll be no difficult in finding food plants then.
Isn't there some law against releasing classified pests? I know that you shouldn't release a captured grey squirrel, and they don't even eat your cabbages.
