2491 Caterpilla Conundrum
I just, somewhat inexplicably, found a tiny white caterpillar on my keys. I've since put it inside an empty Volvic bottle and I am planning on feeding it leaves until it stops needing to eat leaves and leaves. lol words

Is this (too) weird and should I just dump it in the bin when I next go out? For some reason I think I'd be more or less okay with killing it in an outside bin, just not my kitchen bin.

BTW I don't know what the gif I'm posting is, sorry if it's weird porn.

Might be better off in an empty jar than a bottle, and don't suffocate the puir thing, poke some holes in whatever you put it in.

>poke some holes in whatever you put it in.

Well, duh!

However, I don't really have any jars. Maybe I'll upgrade it's bottle once I've got a bigger one to hand.

Instructions unclear. Jar shattered.

Come off it. With some steady hands and diamond dremel bits, he could easily drill some small holes in a glass jar without shattering it. I thought that was implicit in my instructions, but apparently I'm surrounded by morons.

You don't know what leaves it needs. Caterpillars tend to be quite particular.

Honestly I'd just toss it outside.

Caterpillars don't give a fuck about salt though. Salt away, OP.

If it's all white it's likely a moth, specifically a type of moth that loves eating brassicas. Try giving it a bit of broccoli and seeing if it likes that. Alternatively please kill it because I'm sick of this particular species infesting my fucking broccoli.

I found a cabbage white caterpillar on the third floor landing of a tower block and fed it kale until it turned into a butterfly and I let it go. It was cute but it produced prodigious amounts of "frass" which smelt like a cross between cabbage and prawns.

I also found an ailing queen bee in the hallway one unseasonably mild February and took her in and gave her sugar water until she perked up and flew off a couple of days later.
