I saved one in my house for a very long time. I didn’t want him to get cold.

That's cool. You must have been real little then

tobynshorty · 51-55, F

@HumanEarth no I was an adult living alone😀

HumanEarth · F

Well next time, they need to get cold and prepare for winter so they can change into their winged counter part

HumanEarth · F

Yeah, they go into a hibernation state in a cocoon and come out as butterflies and moths

@HumanEarth so I can’t keep them 😿

HumanEarth · F

Well you could, but you would have to set up something like a zoo does. And you're going to need to need to keep at least 20 or more of them

@HumanEarth sometimes only one sneaks in.

HumanEarth · F

We have like hundreds of them around by us. They become tiger moths

Look them up, some are pretty cool looking
