Follow Up on the Swallowtail Caterpillars

Sara sent me these photos of her caterpillars leaving the parsley in her herb planter and finding a place to create their chrysalises.


It crawls over the deck and up the wall.


Then follows the door frame upward higher.


A spider spied it.
Sara had to swipe the spider away!
Enemy alert!

She lost track of this one-- and another one== that crawled up the house too.
But one caterpillar crawled under the bench and stuck itself to the underside
and made a chyrsalis.




The chrysalis was empty today.


These two Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterflies were flitting around us on the deck today.



NOT Black Swallowtails!
Where did they go?
