While I was at the butterfly garden I found a black swallowtail caterpillar in the parsley.
This little guy better hurry up. It will not be too long before the cold weather gets here.

Another Swallowtail release.
Yesterday the black swallowtail that I have been watching emerged from its chrysalis. Since I was at work I ran over to the Como Zoo, over my lunch hour, and released him in their butterfly garden. Here are a couple of pics that I took to commemorate the moment.

funny we found 2 of these in the parsley today, and 1 in the pool the other day(alive of course)...
I just found 3 of these on the parsley in the garden.
I went on line to look up to see what they were.
I love butterflies.
Found one of these in my Dill patch today. How do I keep it alive so that we can watch it transform? We have tried before with Monarchs with no luck. Thanks for any help you can give. - Katie
