We’ll have to clean up after them, cleaning the jar. Caterpillars feed on leaves: radish, cabbage, beetroot, turnip, shepherd’s purse, hoofed fish, green garlic and onion sprouts.

It is best to harvest the caterpillars in early summer. Then you can get a whole jar of butterflies closer to autumn. You will need a new glass jar, of course. I do not advise taking a huge one. It is better to perforate the lid. Ask any Giant about it and show this line:
