Well line I said, this "cage" isn't pretty but it should work just fine. Keep in mind this is outdoors and I live in Southern California so I don't need lights and what not. I made the "cage" out of a piece of redwood fencing, since redwood stands up to the elements better, and I cut them into 1 inch strips. I then made a top and bottom of four pieces of wood each (size is up to you, I made it big enough to slip around my bucket) to create a square frame. One for the top and one for the bottom. Then I decided how high I wanted the "cage" and cut four long upright sticks, I nailed it altogether with finish nails, but use what ever you want. Then I covered the outside with window screen by stapling it to the wooden frame. Make sure all is covered so the moths cannot fly away. And I suggest making your "cage" as high as the size of window screen you got so you don't have to worry about having to patch up a little here and there like I had too. Pretty simple really.
And here is my tomato plant in a bucket. I think I killed it though when I was digging for my cocoons, so lesson learned, do not let the larva dig into the same dirt your tomato plant is in (if you are using a plant that is), make a separate container for the dirt if that is the route you will go.
