Summer is the time for insects to be at the peak of their activity, enjoying the abundance of nectar from flowers, munching on leaves, making their homes underground, on trees and elsewhere and stocking up on food for the rainy days.

If by any chance you come upon a caterpillar in your vegetables or among your balcony plants, you can transplant it along with its food plant into a box with holes. Watch the caterpillar grow, keep feeding it with the same plant leaves or vegetables you found it on and make sure you brush out the droppings and clean the box daily. It will give you great joy to watch the caterpillar metamorphose into a pupa and then a butterfly. Release the butterfly and give it back its freedom.
