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.

Only one caterpillar left
All but one of the caterpillars are now in the cocoon state. One is attached to the wall of a box and will probably become a cocoon tomorrow morning. The last caterpillar is still on the anise & I'll be watching.....
