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.

One more

Another butterfly emerged this morning. I saw that it had started to change from it's bright green to a darker color so I figured today or tomorrow. I set some flowers up for it and then got busy because I had to leave the house. I looked out and there it was sitting on the flowers. As I opened the door it flew away so no pictures this time.
