As I raise these beautiful butterflies I began to wonder what goes on inside the cocoon to change the caterpillar to a butterfly. I found the above amazing link - like who knew!
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.
