I go wherever there are butterflies 
@Besalbub
I know of several videos on YouTube. There are several techniques. The main things to remember are,
The caterpillar cannot be in a container where it can escape. Try to stay with easy to clean, escape proof set ups. Try not to put tiny caterpillars in great big cages where they can wander off and get lost.
The caterpillars must always be kept in food! This is important. They eat a lot.
Cleanliness is very important. It is vital to keep the frass down, the host fresh and the cage disease free
Sterilize cage between broods.
If you use water to keep host fresh, make sure it is covered good so the caterpillars don't drown.
Floral foam is to be renewed with host.

Posted by InsectraSpring amphibian migration in Pennsylvania is well under way! Most of these are Jefferson's salamanders, one of our earliest moving amphibians and a species of special concern in Pennsylvania.
