My instructions were as follows:
- Find a cool place to rest the cocoon
- Create a cover so that little light gets in the sanctuary
- Make sure that the cocoon doesn't dry so that certain reactions can take place
- Wait a few weeks until the pupa has tuned brown
- Split the cocoon open and help the new queen find a soft nesting place
- The queen will then give birth to thousands of children
I did exactly that. I am currently in the waiting process. No one knows about it yet, I am not even sure how to tell my sister Valentine. She will understand me though, I hope...
If you're really nice, www.nasa.gov/ might lend you earthlings a telescope so that you can see this madness live.

Don't forget to keep her away from the saltwater!
