Hummingbird and Butterfly Gardening: Share photos of your cat cages, 1 by Cambium

I used an aquarium/terrarium with a metal mesh-screen top that I'd bought for a lizard while my grandson was at our house one time. I found caterpillars on my Hibiscus out in front then found out they were IO moth cats. My DH & I were concerned about them being eaten so we set up the old aquarium for them. I cleaned some small yogurt tubs then cut out four X marks on the top of the lid, put water in them, then shoved branches of the host plant, Hibiscus, into them for feeding material. Here's a pic of the cats when they were fattening up.

GREAT cages & ideas given.

I'd like to see a thread started of a collection of what the eggs, caterpillars, crysalis then end product butterfly/moth. I don't even know of a book like that! I'd buy it if I knew of one.
