Every time I put new milkweed in the aquarium, I also inadvertently add new caterpillars. Oh, my goodness! They're multiplying like crazy in there! I've got to make some new cages.

Thus far, I've been sticking a branch of milkweed with flowers, leaves in a tiny containers of water. They eat everything! I'm afraid my house is going to be overrun by these cats if I don't do something soon.I've been putting foil on top of the aquairum with slits for air, but several should be large enough to start pupating, and I can't have them pupate on the foil.
