Oh wow, what camera are you using? (sorry, photography nerd hehe!) I love getting up early in the morning and trawling a dewy field looking for insects - got a dslr and macro lens for the job, but finding proper creepy-crawlies is a cold and frustrating task haha! Jealous if you have coccoons in your garden :p |

No they arent in the garden,, i bought the caterpillars online and grew them indoors.. Google 'Insect Lore'
its kept my 6yr old amused for a while :D
I have a Nikon bridge camera, but i am making a Summer Holidays scrap book so thought it would be ace to put pictures of these in there |

That's brilliant. 
You're going to need a lot of patience or a time lapse camera.
Hope they all hatch ok..
They'll be hungry so something sweet to hand and they'll be dopey for a bit so you should get some nice pics.

might be talking out my bum here but some cameras allow you to set a long shutter speed that works a bit like a time lapse ?? Love photography but still learner |

There is a brilliant exhibition of insect photographs at the Oxford Museum of Natural History at the moment. We could have afternoon tea at The Randolph afterwards...  |

Insect Lore...
think you can get them cheaper on Amazon or Ebay. The kit arrives with a pop up tent.. then you have to send off the voucher inside (or do it via email with the code) to receive your cup of Caterpillar's |

Mine all hatched and left. I cultuvate a little patch of nettles in the garden for the butterflies. Twice a year I get to see the caterpillars chrysalise and hang out a while whilst their wings form. It's amazing. It never fails to make me smile. |

I work in a school and they've also done this. Little plastic boxes all over the place. |
