They're heavily attacked by caterpillars, so you want to find something that hasn't been heavily chewed on.

You probably want to eat it within two to four days. Four days would be stretching it.

It prefers a little more humid environment.

Well, I must endure the presence of a few caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies.

When I was a girl I would look out my bedroom window at the caterpillars; I envied them so much. No matter what they were before, no matter what happened to them, they could just hide away and turn into these beautiful creatures that could fly away completely untouched.

The caterpillar does all the work, but the butterfly gets all the publicity.
