Bigger and stronger than I expected. Protect my caterpillars from predators

I actually purchased this product to use as a safe environment for my monarch butterfly caterpillars. Set up a butterfly garden with the necessary milkweed for monarchs. Hooray! I started seeing caterpillars. Hooray! I watched as a large hornet flew in, tracked it down, killed it and flew away with one of my caterpillars. Not cheers. I bought a few more spurge plants to keep on the screened porch, but since Florida also has lizards, frogs, and sometimes even snakes on the porch, I needed a safe haven. I check my garden plants for caterpillars and then transfer them to the porch plants now in my fold out laundry basket. I really wasn't expecting too much from this item as it is quite cheap. However, it is significantly larger than I expected and looks quite stable. You could probably get a full load of laundry in that thing. It has small Velcro straps to keep it closed if you need to roll it up. The only drawback for me is that the upper opening does not close completely. This is a hole to put dirty laundry in the basket. It looked like it was buttoned up in the photos, but it wasn't. It's okay as I'm just going to put a piece of window mesh on top.

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
