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.

Beautiful Day

It is just beautiful today, I would love to have the first butterfly emerge today. It is hard to see if there are any changes going on. I think I might see some color changes but don't know if it is just wishful thinking or not. I would turn the container so I could see better, but the cocoon on the outside of the container would be a problem so I just have to be patient & ready.
