You can actually order caterpillars that will turn into butterflies online and they come with food and a home and everything!! You just watch them turn into their cocoon stage then put em in the butterfly enclosure it came with, provide the actual butterflies with fresh flowers and fruits and then you can release them after a few days!! :) Mine came back to visit our garden many times, they seemed to recognise us and also the flowers they had when they were little
@@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human I don’t remember exactly the brand we got but if you google it for a bit I’m sure it’ll come up. Just make sure it’s a species already native to your area so they don’t get invasive :)
I will say that green little caterpillar was one but the others was just meal worms and knowing meal worms can be well- carnivores As well are herbivores, they probably ate your little green friend! Rip little guy. I hope this helps though. Sorry for your little green guy Edit: meal worms do not start out as green and if they do have green in them they still have a Carmel or brown color with them. So the green caterpillar was a baby moth or butterfly while the meal worms was just baby beetles. It is hard to confused the two but another way to tell the difference is that caterpillars and inch worms (what I call baby moths) have soft bodies throughout growth while baby meal worms have a hard exoskeleton I hope this also helps
Y’know, if I was in your situation, my pet chickens would be thriving. My hens just love the dried mealworms we get them at the store, and I’m sure they’d go crazy for live ones.
I came here for the butterfly. So many layers unfolded in this story that I don't even know what to think anymore. But I now know what becomes of mealworms if they continue to mature. So I'd say I learned something.
apparently those are bad luck cause if you find them it means theres bad people in your lives and are pretending to be nice to you but there actually bad
She lost me after "...at least what I thought would be a butterfly" 😋😂 Seriously though, basically if I got this right, she found a green bug and instead of just transferring the strawberries into the container took the green bug and put it on some oats and it died. In the container instead theres a bunch of mealworms. But she bought them from a pet store, so why would she be surprised they were mealworms? 🤔🤨 The beetles that grew somehow disappeared but she gave the mealworms to her friend for their lizard. Now she has another larvae that she found in a pecan that she (definitely -wasn't- was gonna eat 😉 and) somehow knew to open on camera, and that she knows isn't a caterpillar, but is still waiting to see if it turns into a butterfly?!?🙄😳🥴 WTF is happening here!?!?!
and also didn't make any sense tbh... cuz she for sure knows caterpillars don't procreate cuz they aren't adults and had also already bought mealworms so knew what they were. She does seem to have some actual knowledge and knows how to Google but likes to act like she's dumb to be "cute" and "funny" 😏 which she is at some points... but she's making a fake story from a lot of stuff she chose to do Edit: to be clear I do agree *and* actually _liked_ the video realizing now it sounded like I didn't... but I did
If you grow a tomato plant you’ll probably find caterpillars on it. My nana grows a lot of plants including tomatoes and she kept getting caterpillars that kept eating the plant it drover her crazy. She’d go out into her garden every morning and pluck them off, put them in a container, and toss them on a different plant. But they always came back
Aphids are all over my roses right now, I use vinegar,oil,dish soap diluted with water. This year I got crazy though and used damp paper towels and cleaned over 100 blooms so my bushes will flower. They are about to blow up right now!
Oh neat! I raise mealworms, or darkling beetles, as well- just as pets in general. If you're wanting to keep them as pets, I have a few tips for you! 1. Darkling beetles are what mealworms become. They love crawling, so i recommend putting paper towels in their terrarium so they have something to do. make sure what you're putting in there is as well safe for them! 2. Try new foods! I feed my bugs carrots, and they love them. Though, before putting new foods in their diet, make sure to do some research to see if it's safe for them.
I think the meal worms were already in the food you put in the container, because it happens often that prepacaged food contains their eggs. They are so tiny that they can’t be detected. So probably the green worm died because he didn’t have his preferred food (he was eating a strawberry so I my tip is next time stick to the food the insect is already eating) and then the mealworm’s egg hatched. Oh, and I almost forget, the one white mealworm you got at the end will probably become a moth but please don’t release it because they will spread everywhere to eat your food and to make eggs!
Little mealies!! I used to have a little drawer compartment full of them that I could feed calcium and mealworm feed for my geckos, and one day I was sitting on the couch and saw a big, black beetle in there… I did NOT know they turned into beetles and I was so grossed out! They get MASSIVE! and since they were feeder mealies for my babies, I just put a LOT of food in there and didn’t pay mind to them. That was a bad idea… lol
The explanation at like 6 minutes in sounds like at the end of a Mickey Mouse clubhouse episode when Mickey is going over everything that they did that day
@@growithjessie Awh of course! God bless have a wonderful year ❤️ thank you for your amazing entertaining and educational content. Your content has value and is high quality. Can’t say that as much these days ❤️
I have to say.... Your seeds and plants adventures never stop amazing me. Now the bugs. I can't believe I enjoyed watching a bug video. Only you could do that to me 🤣🤣🤣 Looking forward to seeing your next video no matter how creepy it might be 🤣😉 Have a great day and happy planting 🌱🌿😊🤗🥰 LUV U 👹
Im sorry but thats not how you grow caterpillars, caterpillars would need alot of leafs from the plant it was found on. Caterpillars dont eat oats or apples. Also if you were considering keeping the butterfly a pet it wouldnt be a good idea, butterflies dont live for long, there only porpuse is to mate, layy eggs, and die. Also keeping a butterfly as a pet needs a ton of room like a whole building of plants and other butterflies like the one i saw in Florida (srry i eont have the name of the place) me and my mom have been growing caterpillars and releasing them when they become a butterfly for years now so i hope this helps
so you just happened to put the worm you found into what happens to look like a mealworm farm (with oats and apples wich happens to be what all guides tell you to feed mealworms) and you’re telling me mealworms all of a sudden appeared? 😂
so as soon as the bug at the beginning hits the stage where they were bigger you can immediately tell it is not a caterpillar. actually with some basic info we can guess what it will be. this type of larva is an oligopod larvae it is also clearly not aquatic because of where you found it so I can guess it'll be a beetle (dragonfly larvae are also oligopod but are aquatic). Caterpillars are polypod and have legs in the front and back of their bodies where these guys only have them in the front half. There are also a kind with no legs at all if you find these on food its most likely fly larvae but i think bees also produce this kind of larvae.
I find it interesting that i know you are a super knowledgeable plant person, as i watch you frequently, and this is the first encounter of aphids youve had!
In my country, elementary children must capture one caterpillar for a biology class. They usually found the caterpillar on the tree, put them in a mineral water bottle (punch some holes for air), and put leaves and branches inside. It's awesome. Children put these bottles in their classes and watch the metamorphosis throughout school days. The most amazing part is setting them free~ I also did this at home a couple of years ago. My mom almost killed a caterpillar because it was killing her lime tree. So, I suggested we keep the caterpillar and give it a "temporary house" with lots of food. The butterfly was beautiful, we set it free.
That was an aphid eating maggot, not a caterpillar. It would turn into a non-butter fly. Also, milkweed is poisonous to most caterpillars. Monarch caterpillars are immune to the poison and they become poisonous when they eat milkweed. But good luck finding a real caterpillar.
caterpillars do like carrots but still gotta give them their normal food some caterpillars have special diets you can google the time for the mating season how to identify a caterpillar: more than 3 pairs of legs (specifically walking legs and prolegs) soft bodies shed thin layer of skin they usually hang or make a cocoon during the pupa/cocoon stage and i highly suggest you get a bigger caterpillar if you want a big butterfly. that green one looks like the ones i find in my fresh vegies
Just to let you know, if you want to help butterflies the best way is to plant native flowers and grasses. The wildflowers that you have grow may or may not be actual native plants in your area as it is not a regulated term. You can check this by looking up native plants to your area or using a plant identification app like inaturalist. Non-native plants typically are not butterfly host plants and so caterpilars cannot eat them. So looking up more info on a native pollinator garden would be perfect for what you are looking for. Also with the milkweed pods you know the are ripe when they turn dark dry out and start to crack open. If you harvest them before that point they are not viable. You dont have to kill aphids unless you see damage to your plant because many bugs eat them. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Damn kinda unlucky how you couldn’t find an actual caterpillar. I adopted a caterpillar before, it turned out to be brown moth. I named him tiger and set him free.
For the aphids you can easily just brush them off with a paintbrush, paper towel, or, your hands. I noticed the leaves were looking really crunchy and dead after the treatment. That way you won’t kill the plant or other animals/bugs from the soap.
It’s ok. Plant Milkweed and the butterflies will come. I even got to see one lay a tiny speck of an egg on the underside of a Milkweed leaf. Very tiny. Pretty soon you will see little green, yellow, and black caterpillars. I love it. The Monarchs come back every year. 😊
In my class we have mealworms that have already became beetles and some still worms it’s fun watching them grow and become something so amazing and creepy
Aphids are pretty bad. They eat the eggs and young caterpillars of monarchs. Once we found a poor small caterpillar on an aphid infested milkweed, but my poor dude was literally a hollow shell already. Nothing inside. Rip buddy.

the green bug in the beginning looks like a Syphrid maggot! If it is one, it most likely died, as they eat aphids.
Or got eaten alive by the mealworms 😢
@@rivaa.5419 👍!!!!!
So that green thing could be used on the milkweed plant. That's so ironic.
@@rivaa.5419 that is definitely a possibility. But even without the mealworms it would have died. You shouldnt keep an insect you dont know as a pet, as a lot of insects have diffrent food requirements, and lkving requirements.

you can google the time for the mating season
how to identify a caterpillar:
more than 3 pairs of legs (specifically walking legs and prolegs)
soft bodies
shed thin layer of skin
they usually hang or make a cocoon during the pupa/cocoon stage
and i highly suggest you get a bigger caterpillar if you want a big butterfly.

It’s ok. Plant Milkweed and the butterflies will come. I even got to see one lay a tiny speck of an egg on the underside of a Milkweed leaf. Very tiny. Pretty soon you will see little green, yellow, and black caterpillars. I love it. The Monarchs come back every year. 😊
i love to hear it!!!
In my class we have mealworms that have already became beetles and some still worms it’s fun watching them grow and become something so amazing and creepy
that is so cool! your teacher must be awesome
Nah the “RŒĮGHT”
Had my soul return back into the underworld where it belongs 💀
HAHAH
Aphids are pretty bad. They eat the eggs and young caterpillars of monarchs. Once we found a poor small caterpillar on an aphid infested milkweed, but my poor dude was literally a hollow shell already. Nothing inside. Rip buddy.
and they'll even team up with ants sometimes! The ants protect them from predators and the aphids give them honeydew
agreed. lady bugs eat them, one ladybug can eat about 10 per hour!
omggggg that is cool thanks for the info
I've never been so invested in a story lol
THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY
8:11 look at this little guy eating, its so cuteeeee 🥰

The green grub you showed and the mealworms afterwards aren’t even the same species lol
