So glad you were able to get a photo of that!
I have caterpillars on the fennels and can't wait until the area is filled with butterflies.

 

Neat shots, we are a long time away from that happening here.

 

Nice. Will you document their evolution ?

 

Oh wow how neat Congrats...

 

Of course I will!!!

 

The fourth baby hatched yesterday! It has been raining for a couple of days so I haven't been able to get any good pics. Hopefully the sun will come out soon.

 

Babies are cute no matter what they are. Well maybe not all babies like fleas or earwigs.

 

Their getting bigger and fast. All 4 have now hatched and are happily munching on my orange tree.

I can only find one of the swallow tail caterpillars. I am hoping that they are hiding really well. The one I could is getting big. He looks more and more like bird poop everyday.

I think a wasp or some other predator got my Giant swallow tail caterpillars. :-( But look what i found today on some cilantro that bolted (I have been too lazy to go pluck it in the rain).
