Troubleshooting

Caterpillars not growing

Ensure the caterpillars have enough food and are kept at a suitable temperature. Make sure the cup is not in direct sunlight.

Chrysalides falling off the lid

Make sure the chrysalides are properly attached before moving them to the habitat. If they fall off, gently reattach them using a small amount of glue.
