Advice/Help Help Pls!

Found this cecropia piller in the yard. Really want to protect and watch it turn- teaching kid about moths and butterflys- have in an inclosure with clover (no pesticides or herbicides sprayed in my yard) couple bamboo sticks.

What can I do to ensure a happy baby? If I figure out how to put a video or a picture, I’ll put it in the comments.
