Swallowtail caterpillars

Community and ForumInsects breedingSwallowtail caterpillars

Hello. I have two Swallowtail caterpillars. I found it in the garden on Snyti. I fed her. Today one decided to pupate. She hung on to a branch. The second one hasn't changed its mind yet. How to arrange a proper wintering period for them? The refrigerator is not very large, you will not be able to put a large capacity. There is an unglazed balcony. I live in Moscow. In winter -30 can be. Will pupae survive at this temperature? And what about hydration (moss, cotton wool)? How often to moisturize? I plan to release it in the spring.
