My grandad brought me some Mexican Jumping beans home fom his holiday in 
Las Vegas. I know they are caterpillars inside and in the wild they would 
hatch out, form a cocoons and then turn into a butterflies, can I help 
them to do this at home, do I need to set up a special tank or environment 
for them? I live in England would they just die here because it is too 
cold?
