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?
