Problem: Article: Caterpillars don't need to be housed in anything too fancy - a clean one-gallon jar or a small fish tank is perfect.  These will be easy to clean and will allow you to see your caterpillar easily.  Cover the container with a piece of cheesecloth or mesh and secure with a rubber band. This will allow proper ventilation. Don't just poke holes in a screw-on lid (as some sites advise) as the caterpillars may attempt to escape through these holes and injure themselves on the sharp edges. If you're housing more than one caterpillar, just make sure that each caterpillar has around three times it's body size in extra space to move around in.  This will prevent overcrowding. It's a good idea to line the bottom of your caterpillar's home with some paper towel or tissue paper. This will soak up any excess moisture and catch any caterpillar droppings (known as frass). You can then easily clean the container by whipping out the dirty paper and replacing it with fresh stuff.  However, you should only line your caterpillar container with paper towels if you know that you have a species of caterpillar which pupates above ground. If you have a species of caterpillar which pupates underground (or if you're not sure what species it is) you should line the bottom of the container with a two-inch layer of soil or sand. This way, the caterpillar has something to bury into. The soil or sand should be slightly damp - but not damp enough that it causes condensation on the sides of the container. Caterpillars are quite sensitive to humidity. It's a good idea to place a couple of sticks inside the caterpillars home, for a number of reasons:  Firstly, the caterpillar will have something to climb on, which it may need to do in order to reach it's food. Secondly, the caterpillar may choose to pupate hanging from the stick. As a result, you should make sure that the stick is in a secure position and not in danger of falling over. Thirdly, once the butterfly or moth emerges from the pupa it will need somewhere to hang upside down in order to spread and dry its wings. Most caterpillars prefer a slightly humid environment. The best way to achieve this is to mist the container with a spray bottle of water every so often. However, you will need to be careful not to make the container damp either, as too much moisture can encourage the growth of mold inside the container and on the caterpillar itself.
Summary: Keep your caterpillar in a suitable container. Line the base of the container with paper towel or soil. Place a couple of sticks in the container. Keep the container humid.

Moving your body and even singing along to the lyrics of a silly song will definitely make you have more fun. If you really like dancing, then taking a salsa, cardio hip hop, or another type of dance class will definitely make your life more fun. Part of having fun is hanging out with people who bring more fun and joy to your every day life. If you're hanging out with a Negative Nancy or a person who is always sad for no reason, then you'll never be able to have more fun with others. Here's how to hang out with people who will make your life more fun:  Hang out with people who are spontaneous and adventurous. These people are guaranteed to find fun in the most unlikely places. Hang out with people who crack you up. If you're laughing, you'll be able to have fun no matter where you are. Hang out with people who are positive. Positive people are excited about life and are guaranteed to have more fun than negative, whiny people. One of the best ways to have fun is simply to laugh more. Other people can help you do this, whether you laugh because of their corny jokes or because you find yourself in the middle of a ridiculous situation with your friends. Here's how to have more fun by laughing more:  Watch something funny with your friends. Go to the movies to see a comedy or even see a stand-up comedian, and you'll instantly have fun. Play a silly board game. Board games are guaranteed to make you laugh when you're hanging out with others. Play charades. This old school game is always a riot. Don't be afraid to be silly or goofy.

Let go of your inhibitions and you'll be having more fun in no time at all. Another way to have fun with others is to go on an adventure. This could mean taking a road trip just a few hours away, booking a vacation, or just going on an adventure to a local park or landmark that you've never seen.  A road trip is a guaranteed way to have fun. Bring on the candy, bad pop music mix, and a map, and you'll be having fun in no time. Go to the beach or the woods. You'll be guaranteed to have fun outdoors if you're with a pack of friends who are up for anything. Go on a fun vacation. Go to Vegas, Mexico, or just the next town over just because you feel like it, and enjoy the feeling of being a tourist and acting a little bit outrageous.
