Enter the Wonderful World of Swallowtail Butterflies

A number of years ago I planted an anise plant. I enjoy herb gardening and this was just part of it. Then I noticed little "things" which I believed to be caterpillars. I watched and soon discovered that the birds enjoyed eating them. I did some research and sure enough they were black swallowtail caterpillars. More research and the help of an online friend and and I started raising swallowtails.















I will share my knowledge, my methods, my photos and my Zazzle butterfly products with you on this blog. I will also invite other Zazzle friends to share their butterfly products of swallowtails and other butterfly species.

An interesting Swallowtail Site

http://swallowtails.net/ I found a very interesting site on swallowtails. I had no idea there were so many different types of swallowtails. I have only seen the black ones I'm raising and the yellow & black striped ones that I used to see further north, but so far not here in New Jerey. I believe I found on the site that the butterflies I am raising are Indra butterflies.
