Caccoon Care?

[SandyMuffinCakes94]

Is there any specific guidelines to care for cacoons of butterfly or moths? I found a caterpillar that was in the ground and over night it cocooned itself, i just need to know if i need to keep it in cool place, warm place, moist or what not.

thnx

i always hadluck with room temperature, and thats about it. i always had them hatch perfectly fine.

yea, room temps are fine.. and after X-amount of days
whenever it decides to come out... don't help it along!
I made that mistake once as a little girl...
