Well hello there!

I found this guy on my parsley.  Don't worry.  I'm not mad.  It's a host plant and I have it growing knowing that I will be sharing with the wildlife.

Soon that caterpillar will become a tiger swallowtail. 

It's been a rather low butterfly year.  In fact, I need to purchase tags for monarch tagging, but I've only seen one fly over.  It didn't even stop to nectar.  I'm thrilled with any butterfly I get this year.

Have a great weekend!
