We use to put them in one gallon buckets and add 4 or 5 big leaves of the tree and just place them in the freezer. When we would sell them, we would just get a few out and let them set in the shop for a little while and they would return to normal activity. Be ready to have ur hands stained for a few days though when u gather them.
Google it Giddy up. They are just moth larvae....caterpillars.

Thanks, I've spotted many Catalpa trees here and a friend has shown me a few within a 1/4 mile that have had worms regularly. Right now all of the trees are bare, but I'm going to start hunting for some that are producing. From what I've researched, they can be hit or miss from year to year and tree to tree. So maybe if I keep walking around in the woods here I'll find the "hot spot".
You froze them and they thawed out and were still alive??????
Can someone post some instructions for turning one "inside out". I've always heard that was the best way to fish with them. I remember breaking them into two or three pieces but never turning them inside out. Seems like it might be a little tricky.
