I posted this earlier In the Gardeners group, but had actually intended to post it here. Those of you who are members of both groups get to see it twice ?

This is a giant yellow swallowtail caterpillar on common rue. I am looking forward to following the metamorphosis through to completion, especially because it will be my first giant yellow

This is a very convenient type of container to use, and thrift stores practically give them away. Note that it is turned upside down and placed on top of a dish. This makes it very easy to put fresh plants in and empty the waste. As with black Eastern swallowtails, make sure you place a piece of bark or branch into the container for the caterpillar to use to attach its chrysalis.

The photograph of the butterfly is one I took last year.

Posted by DAB456What kind is this? I think I know, but would like another opinion.

Posted by bigpawbulletsSilly meme. But an attractive butterfly. Photoshopped or real?
