Butterfly Garden

3d instar, I think

13 years ago

Maybe i missed a stage somewhere. Anyway, I believe these are 3d instar for my black swallowtail cats. It is now day 8 after hatching. My new eggs (I brought in 2) are still eggs.

This is such an exciting process. I'd love to raise some Monarchs to help in their conservation, but so far I've seen only 1 this year. Whenever I check milkweeds at the park, there's no sign of eggs. Still, all butterflies are under stress, so I'm glad to add a bit to the black swallowtail population.

Awesome pix, and kudos for doing your part for the butterflies.
You're going to need a lot of parsley:)

Aren't they just beautiful. The colors are so rich and the patterns are any artists dream. I have a pitiful stand of fennel that doesn't get enough sun, and a similar patch of parsley, that I guess aren't worth bothering with this is my second summer with no eggs--at least none that I've seen. When I grew dill, I got tons of eggs. I'll need to remember that for next year. Keep up the good work.
