My boys brought a yellow bear caterpillar in to observe for a couple days but in cocooned before we could put it back outside. We live in Vermont and at best it's 50 degrees F during the day and we've already received a couple killing frosts. What should I do with the yellow bear?

Is there any chance I can put it in the fridge. I know you can with woolly bears as they have an antifreeze like compound?

These charmingly fluffy caterpillars can be raised to adults at home as an educational project for children, or simply for aesthetic pleasure. You will need to provide your caterpillars with a solid habitat, feed them, and then release them into the wild once they turn into moths.
