BST Newbie with questions...

16 years ago

ok, so I have had a butterfly garden for years, but this year I planted some fennel in a pot so I could watch closely just to see what happended. One day I found 5 BST cats babies on the plant and have always just left things alone in the yard until now. A few days later I went out to look and there was only 1 left and it had grown alot. So I decided to bring it in and give it a chance. I managed to keep it together long enough that the little one has gotten all grown up and is now cocooned. But I have no idea what to do next. I find conflicting info on the internet. One place tells me to keep it warm and moist, another says put it out in the unheated garage over the winter, and then bring it back inside in the spring. Someone please tell me what exactly I should do to make sure it has an actual chance. Thanks!!

Only one left...
