For my floormate's insect course, he was given a small plastic container with a small cacoon in it. About half an inch in diameter. It just hatched tonight and its unbelievably big compared to the size of the cacoon. I don't think it likes it in the plastic container which is very small and does not provide adequate space for it to fly around. Now, I am thinking about freeing it, but than my floormate might fail the course. But the container is soooo small and I'm afraid the butterfly will commit suicide or break some bones or something due to lack of room. What should I do?

Let your floormate worry about it. I wouldn't do anything without their permission.

Are you f*cking kidding me? I think your roommate may dismember you if you free the butterfly. I don't think a butterfly is worth dying over.

For god's sake, if you're so worried, go get a bigger container - like a big pitcher with ceran wrap connected with a rubber band.

Replace it with a paper one, while putting the real one on a freight headed for Dallas, Texas. Once there, a man by the name of DeSoto will be waiting in a black Lincoln Towncar. The butterfly will board the car, and then be taken to an undisclosed location across the Mexican border. In 3 days, your friend will learn of the butterfly's disappearance, and summon an inquiry. But before he can discover the truth, you are visted in the night by 2 small men, who escort you blindfolded into a warehouse 4 hours from your residence, down a flight of stairs, where you will be knocked out with a metal rod. When you awaken, you will remember nothing of the last 4 years, and you will have a pleasant, strawberry taste in your mouth. Oh, but you know too much now.......... ;)
